TYPO3 Upgrades
To rely on a secure and fully functional TYPO3 system in the future, your TYPO3 installation needs to run a version that offers medium- to long-term support.
The latest version is currently TYPO3 v13 LTS. “LTS” stands for “Long Term Support” and denotes the extended support period, which usually lasts three years.
Once support ends, no more free TYPO3 updates are provided for newly discovered security vulnerabilities.
Running an outdated version potentially exposes your system to automated or targeted attacks.
| TYPO3 Version | TYPO3 support for security issues |
|---|---|
| Version 13 LTS | until December 31, 2027 |
| Version 12 LTS | until April 30, 2026 |
| Version 11 LTS | until October 31, 2024 |
| Version 10 LTS | until April 30, 2023 |
| Version 9.5 LTS | until September 30, 2021 |
| Version 8.7 LTS | until March 31, 2020 |
| Version 7.6 LTS | until December 1, 2018 |
| Version 6.2 LTS | until March 31, 2017 |
More Benefits of a TYPO3 Update
- A current TYPO3 version helps you meet GDPR requirements, as it keeps you proactively at the state of the art. (GDPR Article 32)
- TYPO3 versions with active Long Term Support (LTS) offer more features, better performance and improved usability. Sometimes these alone are reason enough for an update or even a relaunch of your website.
- The risk of hacker attacks, and the financial damage that follows, is generally minimized with the latest TYPO3 version.
- Common browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge are constantly evolving, and not every TYPO3 system supports the new techniques they introduce. As a result, editorial work becomes error-prone or simply impossible.
- TYPO3 is continuously improved and simplified. This makes customizations or extensions to your TYPO3 instance faster and of higher quality.
Our TYPO3 Update Offer
What our TYPO3 update includes:
System Check
We check the system components PHP and MySQL for compatibility with the new TYPO3 version and update them where necessary.
Extension Check
All extensions are checked for compatibility. We analyze whether compatible updates already exist for the extensions in use and can be installed. We also check whether functionality provided by extensions can now be replaced by TYPO3’s own modules or features, whether better alternatives exist, or whether the extensions need to be adapted for the update.
TYPO3 System Update
The TYPO3 system is updated step by step. When skipping several versions, all intermediate versions must be installed.
Quality Assurance
We perform the update on a separate system environment, so ongoing operations are not affected. You also get access to this environment, allowing you to explore the new system before it goes live.
