If you manage or have a Joomla 5 site, you've probably seen this notice in the admin.
5.x went security only on October 13th. Bug fixes are done, but security patches keep coming until October 2027, so no need to rush an upgrade.
That said, a year goes by fast. Extensions are typically what holds up a J5 > J6 move, so that's where we'd start. Go through what each site is running, see which ones have a Joomla 6 version out, and flag the ones that don't.
Got a custom extension or site you're not sure about? We're happy to take a look - https://wyldcode.com/contact
