As outlined in the [Craft CMS supported versions guide](https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/supported-versions), after this date, Craft 4 will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or performance updates.

## Get help updating Craft CMS

Keeping your website updated is essential for **security and performance**. Outdated software is the most common entry point for security breaches. Furthermore, newer versions like Craft 5 are optimised for modern server environments, ensuring faster load times and a better experience for your users.
