Why should you upgrade to 5.9 ASAP?

Like any other software, an update will ensure that WordPress users can improve their sites with the new features, upgrades, and bug fixes. There is no cost for updating the WordPress software.

If you don’t update your WordPress site, the site will perform less efficiently as it is outdated, and visitors will be less likely to explore it. As a result, the website will have lower traffic, which isn’t ideal in the long run. It also leaves the site vulnerable to attacks and possible malware.
