// Why it matters
Support that buys you time
Shopware 5 has reached the end of its main lifecycle, but that doesn't mean your shop has to be rebuilt overnight. Codewerk Solutions keeps Shopware 5 stores stable and secure — fixing bugs, applying security patches, maintaining plugins and tuning performance — so you can plan a migration to Shopware 6 on your own timeline instead of under pressure.
And when you are ready, we run the migration ourselves — so the same team that knows your Shopware 5 shop moves it cleanly to Shopware 6, with your data, SEO and custom logic intact.
// In detail
Technology, performance and SEO
What we actually do under the hood — so you can judge the work, not just the promise.
Technology & architecture
Shopware 5 is Zend/Enlight with Smarty templates and a legacy plugin system. We still work in it daily: bug fixes, PHP version compatibility, plugin conflicts and security patches, without introducing changes that will make a later migration harder.
Performance
Older shops slow down for predictable reasons: an uncached listing, a plugin looping queries, missing indexes and images served at full size. We profile, fix the top three causes and typically recover most of the lost speed without touching the platform version.
SEO & discoverability
A Shopware 5 shop can still rank very well. We keep the URL structure stable, fix crawl-budget waste from filters, repair broken structured data and make sure Core Web Vitals do not quietly deteriorate as the shop ages.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It can be, but only with active maintenance: PHP and server patches, plugin updates, and monitoring. The risk is not that it stops working — it is that a known vulnerability stays open because nobody is watching. If you are on 5, you need someone maintaining it.
Not automatically. If the shop is profitable and stable, keep it patched and spend the money elsewhere. Migrate when you need the API, when your plugin vendors drop SW5, or when every small change starts costing two weeks.
Yes, regularly. We start with a paid review of code, database, plugins and hosting and give you a written report with risks and a prioritised plan — even if you then decide to continue with someone else.
