The CU*Answers Web Services team has been busy the last few weeks with some behind the scenes updates for our hosting infrastructure and your websites.

Over the holidays, we implemented several performance boosting enhancements to both the web and database servers.  While these enhancements sped up the delivery of websites to visitors they also include some aggressive caching.  Therefore, if you are noticing that your recent updates are not publishing on your website, please do a force reload on your browser.  This is usually done by holding down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the reload button in your browser.

This year (2025) is also the last year of support for PHP 8.1.  CU*Answers Web Services has updated our development environments to support our testing and moving sites on PHP 8.1 to PHP 8.3  In fact, we’ve already moved a couple of sites to the new version with complete success.  This should be an invisible behind the scenes update for most clients.  PHP 8.2 is still supported through 2026, but we will move some of these sites also.

CU*Answers Web Services is continually looking to improve our products and services, as well as, constantly vigilant to keep our all our sites secured.
