Should I upgrade from PrestaShop 1.7 to 8.x or 9.x?
It depends on your situation. If your store is running well on 1.7 and all your modules are compatible, there is no urgent need to upgrade — 1.7 still receives security patches. However, PrestaShop 8.x and 9.x bring real improvements: better performance, Symfony 6.4 under the hood, and improved admin interface. The upgrade process is not trivial — it requires careful planning, module compatibility checking, and thorough testing on a staging copy. Do not upgrade production without testing first.
