Monitoring the sites still on WordPress 5 and PHP 7.4
Many client sites stay on WordPress 5 because a theme or plugin cannot take the update, or because the host still runs PHP 7.4. They need watching like the others, or more.
Old versions have different APIs.
WordPress's date and time zone APIs arrived in 5.3. An agent that relies on them with no fallback gets times wrong or stops on earlier versions.
And the longer a site stays put, the more known vulnerabilities pile up in its core and plugins.
Tested on every 5.x release.
