This document discusses doing a site health check to check the PHP version a WordPress site is running. It recommends using the Site Health Check plugin to determine the PHP version and check for any issues. If the PHP version is out of date, the document provides steps to test for compatibility issues, update the version with the hosting provider, and migrate custom code and plugins to newer PHP versions. It also discusses resources for PHP updates and encourages contacting hosting providers for assistance.
