TYPO3 upgrade:
Improved performance and security for your website
Don't wait too long!
TYPO3 support & bugfixes expire
Is your website still based on an older TYPO3 version? Then it's high time for an upgrade! The free support for TYPO3 version 11 and older has already expired. Free support for TYPO3 version 11 expired on 31 October 2024. The systems are no longer being actively developed. Bug fixes are sometimes not offered at all or only in paid extended support.
The new TYPO3 version 13 LTS offers free support until 31 December 2027.
Many thanks and great praise for the good job and the great collaboration! Together we have created a successful site that we like - and the feedback so far has also been very positive. Above all, the new speed of the website is also very positive for us, as it has eliminated a source of suffering. We still have a lot planned with gettex and we are looking forward to taking the next steps with Netresearch.

TYPO3 Upgrade
Why a TYPO3 upgrade is important for your website:
Extended functionality
Each new TYPO3 version brings additional functions that simplify the use of the system for developers, editors and website operators - from improved programming options to new tools for SEO and social media. Regular updates keep you technically up to date, save valuable resources and allow you to utilise the full potential of all functions.
Legal protection
As the operator of a commercial website, you are obliged under the German Telemedia Act to ensure that your website is secure and up-to-date. A central component of this is the regular updating of your TYPO3 system. Only if your website is always up to date can it be effectively protected against hacker attacks and other external threats.
Technological advantage
A TYPO3 upgrade ensures that your website continues to run smoothly and stably thanks to database and PHP updates. The backend also benefits from the upgrade, which guarantees problem-free editorial maintenance of the site . Older systems, on the other hand, can cause display problems in new browsers - this risk is eliminated with an up-to-date system. In addition, an upgrade often results in performance and SEO improvements, which can lead to a lower bounce rate and a better ranking in search results.
Frequently asked questions about the TYPO3 upgrade
How long does the TYPO3 upgrade at Netresearch take?
Small to medium-sized projects are often completed in just a few weeks. Larger migrations with many extensions or integrations require more time. We plan every upgrade so that you can keep track of progress and timeframes at all times.
Can extensions also be transferred during the TYPO3 upgrade?
Yes, we check your existing extensions for compatibility with the target version. Where necessary, we adapt in-house developments or replace third-party extensions that are no longer maintained with alternatives. In doing so, we pay particular attention to future-proofing and maintainability.
How much does a TYPO3 upgrade cost at Netresearch?
The costs depend on the scope of the project. After an initial analysis, you will receive a realistic cost estimate from us. Our focus is on sustainable quality - not on quick fixes.
Why should I upgrade my TYPO3 system with Netresearch?
A TYPO3 upgrade increases the security, sustainability and performance of your website. As an experienced TYPO3 service provider, we ensure a structured migration - from analysis and implementation to go-live - and take individual requirements, existing extensions and integrations into account.
My systems are running smoothly. Is a TYPO3 upgrade really necessary?
If your current TYPO3 version is no longer in regular support or is not compatible with current PHP versions, an upgrade is strongly recommended. This is the only way to guarantee security, performance and long-term support. We will be happy to advise you on whether and when an upgrade makes sense.
Can new features also be implemented during a TYPO3 upgrade?
Yes. A TYPO3 upgrade is a good opportunity to integrate new functions - such as an improved editorial workflow, accessibility, search optimisation or the connection of external systems. We will be happy to advise you on which enhancements are technically feasible and economically viable.
How is ongoing operation ensured during the TYPO3 upgrade?
We always work with a separate development and test environment. Your existing website remains fully accessible until the final upgrade. Only after successful testing and acceptance does the go-live take place - planned and with a backup strategy.
Can we maintain and further develop TYPO3 ourselves later on?
Yes. Our TYPO3 projects are documented, updateable and easy to maintain. If you have an internal team, we can support you with knowledge transfer. Alternatively, we can provide long-term maintenance, support and further development.
Does Netresearch also support multidomain or multilingual TYPO3 projects?
Yes. We have extensive experience with TYPO3 setups for multilingual content, multidomain installations, client solutions and corporate projects.
How long will my new TYPO3 version be supported after the upgrade?
TYPO3 LTS versions (Long Term Support) receive at least 3 years of official support plus optional ELTS support (Extended Long Term Support) from TYPO3 GmbH. TYPO3 12 LTS, for example, is in regular support until October 2026 - with ELTS even until 2029. Netresearch plans upgrades so that your platform remains operational in the long term.
Can content and structures also be revised during the TYPO3 upgrade?
Yes - if desired, we can use the upgrade as an opportunity to tidy up content, optimise navigation or rethink the page structure. Editorial processes or layouts can also be revised if required - with our technical and conceptual support.
What are the risks of a TYPO3 upgrade?
Typical risks are outdated extensions, incompatible templates or undocumented in-house developments. Thanks to our structured preliminary analysis and test environment, we can identify and minimise these risks at an early stage.
What is the difference between a TYPO3 update and a TYPO3 upgrade?
A TYPO3 update refers to an update within a TYPO3 main version (e.g. from TYPO3 11.5.10 to 11.5.30). It primarily contains security and bug fixes and is usually technically less complicated.</p
<p>A TYPO3 upgrade, on the other hand, means switching to a new major version (e.g. from TYPO3 10 LTS to 12 LTS). This often changes system requirements, extension compatibility or even editorial functions - the effort involved is higher and should be well planned and tested.</p
<p>Netresearch provides professional support for both processes - from the security update to the complete upgrade project with test environment, data migration and customisation.
