PHP 8.2 reaches end-of-life on Dec 31, 2026. Free 1-page website snapshot Check my site →

Old Website Rescue · Sitewalk Audits · Mississippi Gulf Coast

Your website runs on software with an expiration date. We’ll check yours free.

Most websites run on PHP, the software underneath WordPress and most site builders. Each version stops getting security updates on a fixed date; PHP 8.2’s is December 31, 2026. Enter your web address and Matt’s team will send you a plain-English, one-page snapshot within one business day.

Outside-in check only. We never log in, scan, or test your site without your written permission.

How it works

Three steps, no access needed

  1. You enter your web address.

    No login, no access.

  2. We look from the outside.

    Within one business day, Morena on Matt’s team checks what any visitor’s browser can see and writes a one-page snapshot in plain English.

  3. Matt walks you through it in 15 minutes.

    A screenshare, not a sales deck. If something needs doing, you get a fixed price in writing before anything is touched.

What the site runs on

  • PlatformWordPress 6.2
  • Server software (PHP)PHP 7.4
  • Support statusPHP 7.4 stopped receiving security updates in November 2022.

What we noticed

  1. The online patient form is on the same site, so the software underneath matters more.
  2. Several plugins show versions that are a few years old.
  3. The footer still says © 2021.

Good news: the SSL certificate is valid and renews automatically.

What we’d do first: the $395 audit, credited in full toward the fix.

What you get

One page that tells you what your site runs on, whether that software is still supported, a few things we noticed, and one genuine positive. It’s a starting point for a 15-minute conversation, not a security test and not a guarantee.

WordPress gets upgraded; anything else gets rebuilt. We don’t patch custom PHP code, we replace it.

How we work (and how we use AI)

People make the decisions. Every change follows the same order.

Matt Fountain runs Sitewalk Audits from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Morena handles scheduling, snapshots and reports, and a senior WordPress developer handles the hard technical calls. We use AI coding tools, directed by Matt under a written checklist, to work faster and keep prices fixed. AI speeds up the work, but people make the decisions and check the results, and you get a written report of everything we touched.

  1. Full backup
  2. The change on a private test copy
  3. Testing
  4. Your written OK
  5. Then the live site

Questions

Straight answers

Do you scan or test my site?

Not without written permission. The snapshot uses only what any visitor’s browser and public tools see.

My host handles security, right?

Your host patches its servers, and many patched October’s PHP issue quickly. Hosts don’t make your theme and plugins work on newer PHP. Sites that would break get left on old versions, sometimes for a monthly fee.

Will this make my site secure?

No one can honestly promise that. We promise the process: backup first, test copy first, fixed price, written report, supported software.

Who will I talk to?

Matt runs walkthroughs. Morena, who works with Matt from Buenos Aires, handles scheduling and reports.

Town or public agency?

Website help sized for small-town budgets and the purchasing rules you already follow.
