 * I have few web servers with different php versions. Not sure which exactly gonna
   be a final solution for customer hosting. I’m using your plugins on set of websites
   and need to make sure that I select proper version of the PHP to avoid any problems
   with statistics. Do you have some PHP list with exceptions of the versions which
   not gonna work with your plugin ?

 * We work with all PHP versions that are supported by WordPress (ie if you have
   WordPress installed, you can use our software). WordPress currently supports 
   PHP versions newer than 5.2.4. We have team members who contribute to PHP core
   so will always support even additional newer versions of PHP that WordPress might
   not even support yet depending on the timing between PHP core releases and WordPress
   core releases.
 * We recommend that all users on PHP versions between 5.2 and 5.6 inclusive work
   on upgrading to PHP 7.0 or newer. This is because WordPress is moving the minimum
   PHP version to 5.5 starting in May of this year and to 7.0 likely by the end 
   of the year. We will continue supporting PHP versions that even WordPress does
   not support in case our users need additional time to upgrade. This allows users
   on modern PHP versions to receive all of the performance benefits, but also allows
   legacy PHP version users to not have to worry about business-critical statistics
   breaking. If we ever decide to change those version requirements, like any other
   change, we always give our users a large heads up in advance.
 * For modern web hosting, hosting providers should be putting you on a PHP version
   of 7.0 or newer, generally 7.2 or 7.3 on new accounts, as this is the industry
   standard and there are significant speed improvements (as much as 4x) from literally
   just upgrading a hosting account from 5.4 to 7.3. For existing accounts, most
   hosting providers are working behind the scenes to automatically upgrade their
   customers to these versions, though some require you to ask for these upgrades.
   We would recommend asking for them, as again the speed improvements are massive,
   and the upgrade takes generally a single button click for the host and a few 
   minutes to run.
