Server Requirements

Ensure your hosting server meets the following for optimal performance:

• Apache + PHP 7.4+ (latest version recommended).
• WordPress 5+ (latest version recommended).
• Curl Module and OpenSSL enabled.

The server requirements above follow WordPress recommendations. If you are using PHP below version 7.4, it’s best to update to 7.4+ due to security issues in older PHP versions.
