What is ELTS?
ELTS stands for Extended Long Term Support and provides additional support for older TYPO3 versions beyond the regular Long Term Support (LTS). TYPO3 8.0, which was originally released in October 2017, has supported many companies in the past, but ELTS will end on March 31, 2024. This means that no more security updates, bug fixes or support services will be available after this date.
Why is an update important?

With the end of ELTS for TYPO3 8.0, your website becomes vulnerable to security risks. Security updates are crucial to fix known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
