The latest TYPO3 version is TYPO3 v13 LTS (Long Term Support). With over 140 new functions, it offers optimized usability, more security and lots of new useful features. In this article, we'll look at the benefits of upgrading to the latest version and explain why it's essential to keep your website up to date. Traditionally, we take a brief look at the development process and life cycle of TYPO3 beforehand.
TYPO3 releases a new major version approximately every 18 months, which is then officially maintained for at least three years. In the first 1.5 years, there are security updates as well as functional updates, while the following 1.5 years are used exclusively for security maintenance. The latest version, TYPO3 v13 LTS, has been available since October 2024 and will be provided with important updates free of charge until December 2027.
Another current version is TYPO3 v12 LTS – click here for the TYPO3 V12 article. This will be provided with updates and support until April 2026. After that, it will be possible to extend support via ELTS (Extended Long Term Support). This means that a TYPO3 website can be provided with updates for up to three additional years, increasing the total term to up to six years. While ELTS enables the secure use of older versions, this involves annual costs of several thousand euros (more information on ELTS).
In the TYPO3 life cycle, the latest LTS version and the previous version run in parallel for at least one year, so that there is sufficient time to switch to the current version. After this transition period, the older version is only available as an ELTS service, while a new TYPO3 version is released at the same time. This ensures continuous further development and long-term maintenance.

The current ELTS versions, TYPO3 v11 (supported until the end of October 2027) and TYPO3 v10 (supported until the end of April 2026), allow for extended maintenance beyond the regular LTS phase. ELTS can be useful to allow more time for an upgrade or to skip a TYPO3 version. Nevertheless, it is generally recommended to upgrade to the current TYPO3 v13 version to benefit from the latest features, security updates and performance improvements.
Behind TYPO3 v13 are 3,300 Git commits with 140 new functions that improve the system in many ways. These include optimized usability for editors and developers, enhanced security measures, better performance and even greater internationalization. The following innovations and adjustments are convincing reasons to consider an upgrade to TYPO3 v13.
The TYPO3 backend has been extensively modernized - the optimized user interface is noticeable from the very first login in v13. The aim of the adjustments was to create an even more intuitive and clearer working environment that also complies with European accessibility standards and significantly improves the user experience.
Dark mode has long been established in browsers, apps and websites – now also in TYPO3 v13. In addition to being a stylish alternative to light mode, it offers practical advantages for accessibility: it reduces eye strain, especially in low-light conditions, improves readability for long texts and can even reduce power consumption, which can extend battery life.
The page and file tree is a central element in the TYPO3 backend and has been fundamentally revised in TYPO3 version 13. Editors can now highlight pages in color and add additional information that is displayed on mouseover. Smoother scrolling, especially for extensive page structures, significantly improves navigation. Optimized API endpoints ensure significantly better performance. Overall, the page tree has been made more intuitive, faster and more powerful to make daily editorial work even more efficient.
A small highlight: The drag-and-drop function has been expanded so that content can now be moved directly from one page to another.

In TYPO3 v13, new keyboard shortcuts have been introduced to increase efficiency in the backend. For example, data records can be saved with Ctrl/Cmd + S and saved and closed directly with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + S. The backend search can now be opened quickly with Ctrl/Cmd + K.
In addition, the JavaScript module hotkeys.js has been integrated, which allows developers to define individual shortcuts for specific functions in the backend. This hotkey API allows workflows to be further personalized and accelerated.
These improvements not only contribute to accessibility by making it easier for people with disabilities to use TYPO3, but also offer all users a more efficient way to work with the system – especially for those who prefer to navigate with keyboard shortcuts.
The backend search in TYPO3 v13 has been fundamentally optimized to provide editors and administrators with faster and more efficient navigation. The results can be filtered according to categories and tags, making it even easier to find relevant content.
The search now not only includes pages and content, but also database entries, backend modules and workspaces. The search can be called up directly using the key combination Ctrl/Cmd + K. Thanks to improved ranking logic, the results are weighted more precisely and displayed more quickly - especially for large TYPO3 instances.
Another practical feature is the new search function in the form backend module, which makes life much easier, especially for websites with many forms.
In TYPO3 v13, support for right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian has been further improved – both in the backend and the frontend. The TYPO3 backend automatically recognizes RTL languages and adapts menus, texts and layouts accordingly by reversing the reading direction from right to left. Text fields, navigation bars and toolbars now adapt dynamically to ensure correct display. In addition, RTL support can be individually enabled or disabled for specific users or user groups. These improvements make TYPO3 v13 even more inclusive and user-friendly for international projects with multilingual websites and non-Latin writing systems.

TYPO3 v13 introduced bulk editing, a feature that makes the backend workflow much easier for editors. It makes it possible to edit or update several data records at the same time instead of having to adjust each entry individually. This allows page properties to be adjusted, for example – several pages can be renamed, access rights changed or metadata updated in one go. Another use case would be editing file metadata: for example, file descriptions, titles or keywords can be defined for several images or documents at the same time. Content or data records can also be changed in groups to define categories, visibility options or publication status.
The advantages are obvious: time savings, consistency and efficiency. Changes can be applied quickly and uniformly to multiple elements, which is particularly useful for large TYPO3 projects with a lot of content.
In TYPO3 version 13, new widgets have been added to the dashboard to provide backend users with enhanced insights and functionality. The added widgets include, among others:

The new dashboard widgets help users to have important information and functions centralized and clearly available, which further increases the efficiency and user-friendliness of the TYPO3 backend.
In version 13 TYPO3, the data export functions have been significantly improved. One of the new features is the introduction of download templates. These templates allow you to configure specific data exports. For example, you can create a template that only contains the username, email address and last login columns when exporting frontend user data. These templates can be saved and shared with other backend users, making repeated exports more consistent and efficient. In addition, the revised data export modal window allows data to be exported from almost any database table in various formats. This facilitates the backup of content, migration between TYPO3 instances and the further processing of data in external applications.

In version 13, TYPO3 also focuses on performance optimizations that improve both loading times and system efficiency. Optimized database queries and improved caching significantly reduce page load times, resulting in a better user experience and a positive impact on search engine rankings. Furthermore, the cache mechanisms have been revised to ensure more efficient data processing. Image compression has also been improved so that images are compressed more effectively without compromising image quality, which increases loading speed. This helps to significantly improve the overall performance of TYPO3 v13 and offers tangible benefits for both developers and end users.
TYPO3 version 13 places particular emphasis on enhanced security features to ensure the integrity and protection of websites. The measures significantly increase the security of TYPO3 and offer administrators and developers a robust foundation for the operation of secure web applications.
Administrators can activate an additional authentication level, making unauthorized access more difficult.
By supporting PHP 8.2 and Symfony 7, TYPO3 v13 relies on current technologies that will receive security updates until December 2025 and November 2028 respectively.
TYPO3 version 13 brings numerous improvements and innovations that are particularly important for developers and integrators. These innovations offer developers and integrators extended tools and possibilities to create more efficient and powerful web applications.
Already convinced of TYPO3 v13? Then simply get in touch with us with your upgrade request. For all those who would like to learn more convincing reasons for a TYPO3 update to the current LTS version, read on below.
Some functions are not new, but have been partially revised for TYPO3 v13 LTS.
Workspaces make it possible to create additional pages for editing or testing alongside the live system. They offer a nice way to define editorial processes and design workflows from draft to release. In TYPO3 11 & 12, improvements have been implemented for workspaces, including faster loading times. Easy switching between workspaces via a drop-down menu and a new filter option make it easier to use. In addition, the appearance has been adapted to other areas.
Frontend Editing enables content to be edited directly in the frontend or via a backend module that displays the selected page as in the frontend and makes it editable in this view. This function eliminates the need to constantly switch between backend and frontend, which speeds up workflows.
Content blocks are a structured method for creating user-defined content elements in TYPO3. They enable the modular and standardized creation of new content elements without having to dig deep into the TCA (Table Configuration Array). Instead of individual configuration files, YAML definitions are used that clearly define the structure, fields and presentation of a content element. Content blocks enable faster development of individual content elements, offer a clear YAML-based structure and make it easier to maintain and expand the content.
Although content blocks are a modern and recommended method for individual content elements, they are not directly included in the TYPO3 core. Instead, they must be integrated via a separate TYPO3 extension. This was a deliberate decision to ensure an upgrade-proof solution and to enable developers to use them in earlier TYPO3 versions. In addition, the separate extension allows for more flexible further developments without violating the TYPO3 philosophy of not making any more far-reaching changes to the core after an LTS version. The TYPO3 team is currently developing the official Content Blocks feature as an independent system extension, which will probably be available as an option in future TYPO3 versions.
Content Blocks offer a modern, structured and future-proof method for creating individual content elements in TYPO3. As they are not (yet) included in the TYPO3 core, they must be used as a stand-alone extension, but already offer a clear improvement over the classic TCA method.
The link validator in TYPO3 recognizes faulty links in the entire system. In TYPO3 v10, this function has been extended to also support pages, files and external links. The improvement also enables external links to be validated directly when they are embedded.
TYPO3 v13 benefits from numerous improvements from the previous versions. Many optimizations affect developer and backend workflows, but also offer advantages for editors and administrators. Here we present the most important new features from TYPO3 v12 and earlier versions. For more information on the changes in version 12, we recommend our blog post on TYPO3 v12 LTS.
The modernized page module improves readability and overview. The CKEditor has been updated to version 5 and makes iframes superfluous when editing.
A new tile view makes it easier to access file actions. Drag & drop with the CTRL key makes it easy to move files between folders.
An optimized backend search function and enhanced user tsconfig settings enable a more flexible editorial environment and more efficient work.
The creation of new TYPO3 pages has been simplified – the system automatically configures a root page, which reduces manual steps.
Page links can be easily copied or bookmarked, which makes collaboration easier for editors and admins.
Administrators can activate MFA for backend and optionally frontend users. A rate limiter protects against brute force attacks.
CSP protects against cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection. In addition, extended HTTP security headers are used as standard.
Customizable password requirements provide greater protection for backend access.
SameSite cookies prevent unwanted data transfer via third-party scripts or iframes.
New TCA types such as e-mail, password and file increase flexibility. The system configuration module offers extended insights into YAML and TCA settings.
The database abstraction layer has been updated to Doctrine DBAL 3. Extbase offers powerful alternatives to magic functions for more efficient development.
TYPO3 12 introduced webhooks for seamless system integration with real-time communication to external systems. Message Bus & Queue improve the asynchronous processing of time-consuming processes.
External systems can be connected directly to TYPO3 via webhooks. The Reactions module offers predefined actions for automated workflows.
TYPO3 v12 relies on modern PHP versions for improved security, performance and developer friendliness.
Improved cache strategies reduce loading times and increase the scalability of large TYPO3 instances.
TYPO3 v12 facilitates the configuration of language fallbacks and supports right-to-left languages such as Arabic.
Developers can retrieve localized country data and use drop-down elements for forms.
Workspaces offer improved loading times and optimized user guidance. The administration of backend users has been made clearer.
Automatic redirects for URL changes and an improved link validator make maintenance and error prevention easier.
Dashboards can be extended with your own widgets, and backend notifications are now interactive (clickable) and closable.
HTML email templates replace plain text emails and offer a more flexible design for system messages.
Optimizations in the Forms Framework enable better customization and extend the use of the Fluid Templating Engine for forms.
The website title can be changed directly in the page module for each language. The title field in the template module is no longer available from version 11.
TYPO3 is constantly evolving to meet the growing demands for security, functionality and legal standards. Regular updates and upgrades are essential to benefit from the latest improvements and to ensure a stable and secure website in the long term.
TYPO3 relies on modern technologies and code optimizations to increase loading speed. Improved performance not only enhances the user experience, but also has a positive effect on search engine rankings. Support for new PHP versions also contributes to a faster and more stable system environment.
Every TYPO3 update brings new features and optimizations that improve user-friendliness and system usage. Thanks to modern operating concepts, optimized workflows and more intuitive navigation, both editors and developers benefit from a more efficient and productive way of working.
Outdated TYPO3 versions harbor security risks and can provide a target for cybercrime. Regular updates close known security gaps, minimize the risk of data loss and protect against legal consequences. In addition, compatibility with current browsers and systems is ensured.
Compliance with current data protection regulations is essential for website operators. Newer TYPO3 versions integrate functions for improved data protection control, such as the restriction of third-party cookies. This facilitates the implementation of GDPR requirements and ensures the protection of sensitive user data.
TYPO3 offers a high degree of adaptability through extensions that are continuously developed and adapted to the latest TYPO3 versions. Popular extensions for news, forms or interfaces receive regular updates – older TYPO3 versions can often no longer keep pace with these developments.
Both front-end and back-end users benefit from the continuous improvements. Shorter loading times, optimized user interfaces and new functions ensure improved usability and a more pleasant user experience – which in turn can have a positive effect on dwell time and conversion rates.
TYPO3 focuses on an accessible and inclusive web experience for all users, regardless of their individual capabilities and needs, and regularly optimizes the accessibility of the content management system with each LTS version. An up-to-date TYPO3 system not only delivers current accessibility standards, but also improves efficiency for all users in the backend. Improvements such as keyboard navigation in menus, the file list and the list module facilitate the use of screen readers and operation for users who prefer to work with a keyboard.
TYPO3 distinguishes between major releases and minor releases. The first number of a version number indicates the major version, e.g. TYPO3 13 LTS stands for version 13.4. Major releases bring significant new features compared to the previous major version. The second number indicates the minor version. Before the stable LTS version, a new major version goes through several development phases in which new functions are added and bugs are fixed. The versions prior to the LTS version are referred to as sprint releases – in the case of TYPO3 v13, these are versions 13.0 to 13.3.
The first stable minor version is the LTS version (Long Term Support), which is maintained in the long term and integrates all new features and bug fixes from the sprint releases. An upgrade is therefore only recommended with the release of the LTS version, as this offers official support and long-term stability.
After the release of the LTS version, only patches marked by the third number in the version number are released. These updates mainly contain bug fixes and security updates. For example, the current TYPO3 13.4.5 (as of February 2025) represents the fifth patch version of TYPO3 13 LTS. Since many patches are often released in the first few months after the release of an LTS version, it is advisable to wait some time before updating an existing instance until the initial bug fixes have been implemented.
Let's take a closer look at the process of a TYPO3 v13 upgrade – with basic steps that are relevant for every TYPO3 upgrade.
Upgrades should never be performed directly on a live instance. The reason for this is simple: every upgrade harbors potential risks, and not all problems can be foreseen in advance. To be on the safe side, you should first create a copy of the existing instance on which the upgrade will be performed. In addition, it is advisable to have a complete backup ready so that the original version can be restored quickly in the event of unexpected errors or data loss. A complete backup includes:
During the entire upgrade process, a content freeze should be maintained so that no content has to be entered twice - once before and once after the upgrade. Detailed information on this and other important steps can also be found on the official TYPO3 website. Before working with the copy, you should check whether the copy works in the same way as the live instance.
Before the actual upgrade begins, the system requirements for the new TYPO3 version should be checked. In addition to the PHP version, the database, the web server and other server components must also be compatible. For TYPO3 v13, for example, PHP 8.2 is a minimum requirement. All system requirements for TYPO3 13 can be found at get.typo3.org. If necessary, these components should be updated before the TYPO3 upgrade to avoid compatibility problems.
A key step before the upgrade is to check the installed extensions for compatibility with the new TYPO3 version.
The extension scanner in the Install Tool helps to detect outdated or incompatible functions. The deprecation log should be activated for a few days in order to identify and then resolve obsolete code.
All active extensions should be updated to the highest version available for the current TYPO3 version. If an extension is not compatible with the new TYPO3 version, there are three options:
Extensions that are no longer used should be deleted before the upgrade to reduce the effort involved. Some extensions must be deactivated before the upgrade and only updated and reactivated afterwards.
Some extensions are compatible with the new TYPO3 version, but not with the required PHP version. In such cases, either an older PHP version must be used or the extension concerned must be dispensed with.
The global reference index manages links between content elements and files. This index can be checked and updated in two ways: either via the command line (CLI) or via the DB check module (system modules). As the process can take a lot of time, especially for large websites with many pages and files, and does not need to be carried out regularly, the method via the command line is recommended. The DB check is an alternative, especially for small websites with few subpages and files.
The global reference index manages links between content elements, pages and files. To avoid inconsistencies in the database, the index should be updated before the upgrade.
Regular updating of the reference index ensures that all internal links are correct and potential errors are detected at an early stage.
This step is optional, but it is advantageous to prepare an upgrade carefully. The changelog of a TYPO3 version contains important information on new features, bug fixes and potential breaking changes. Breaking changes in particular should be checked carefully before the upgrade, as they can affect existing functionalities. The changelogs can be viewed via the Extension Scanner or read on the official TYPO3 website. In the Extension Scanner, changes can be filtered by category and processed like a to-do list. It is recommended to view at least the Breaking Changes and the Important category in order to be able to plan necessary adjustments in good time.
With TYPO3 v12 the support for global extensions has been removed. If global extensions are still used, these must be converted to local extensions.
typo3/ext/ directory.typo3conf/ext/.The switch to local extensions ensures that the extensions remain compatible with future TYPO3 versions and can continue to be maintained.
To upgrade your TYPO3 installation to version 13, you can obtain the TYPO3 sources either via Composer or directly from the official TYPO3 website. The preferred method is to use Composer as it allows for better management of dependencies and future updates. All information about the TYPO3 v13 Core Update can also be found on the official documentation for version 13.
Important notes (see also Preparations): Make sure that the servers used meet the requirements of the new TYPO3 version, especially with regard to the PHP and database versions. It is also important to note the breaking changes for TYPO3 v13, which may require adjustments to the extensions or the setup. Before every upgrade, a complete backup of the installation and database should be created to enable recovery in the event of problems. With TYPO3 v12 the package typo3/cms-recordlist was integrated into typo3/cms-backend. With TYPO3 v13 the package typo3/cms-t3editor was integrated into typo3/cms-backend. So if you have installed either package, remove them from your composer.json file before upgrading.
Execute the command composer info typo3/* to list all currently installed TYPO3 packages. Each package must be upgraded to a different major version during the upgrade. Make a note of the installed packages, especially optional extensions that may not be included by default in the new version. To upgrade a Composer package, run composer require with the package name and version number. An upgrade command can be easily created with the Composer Helper Tools. Please note that dependency errors occur during a typical installation, which must be resolved.
After successfully upgrading your TYPO3 installation to version 13, some follow-up work is required to ensure that the system works properly. All necessary steps that need to be performed after the TYPO3 core update can also be found on the official TYPO3 website.
After the TYPO3 core update, the Upgrade Wizard should be run in the Install Tool. The Install Tool can be accessed via your-domain.de/typo3/install.php. There, navigate to the Upgrade section and select the Upgrade Wizard. This takes you through several steps, starting with the creation of missing database tables and fields. It is recommended that you carefully check all the steps suggested by the wizard and carry them out accordingly. Some wizards concern optional functions that may not be relevant for the current installation; these can be skipped.
All updates can also be carried out simultaneously via the command line (CLI), which can be particularly advantageous for extensive installations.
After completing the Upgrade Wizard, the database structure should be analyzed and adapted to the requirements of the new TYPO3 version. To do this, go to the Maintenance section in the Install Tool and select Analyze database. The system displays a list of changes that should be made to bring the database up to date. Particular attention should be paid to tables or fields that are marked as obsolete. TYPO3 first renames such elements with the prefix zzz_deleted_* before they are finally removed. It is important to carefully check whether these elements are no longer needed before deleting them.
It may be useful to reset the backend user settings to avoid possible incompatibilities after the upgrade. This can be particularly helpful if users have made individual settings that are no longer compatible with the new version. The option Reset user settings can be found in the Install Tool under Maintenance. Personal user settings may be lost in the process.
After the upgrade, it is essential to clear all caches to ensure that no outdated data is used. In the backend, go to Admin tools > Maintenance and click on Empty cache. Temporary files should also be removed. In the same module, you will find the option Remove temporary assets, which allows you to delete temporary files that are no longer required. This ensures that the system works with the current data and prevents possible conflicts caused by old files.
After the upgrade, the language packs should be updated to ensure that all backend texts are available in the desired language. In the Install Tool under Maintenance you will find the Manage language packs section. The installed languages should be updated there to add missing translations and ensure that the backend can be used as usual.
By carefully carrying out this follow-up work, you can ensure that the TYPO3 installation runs stably and efficiently after the upgrade.
In the meantime, TYPO3 has received several updates, including the current release 13.4.5, which further improves stability and security. We therefore highly recommend upgrading to TYPO3 v13 LTS – especially for users who are still using TYPO3 11 or TYPO3 10 with ELTS service.
