Hello,

is PHP 7 an useful option for XenForo 1.55?

Kind regards,

XF 1.5.5 is compatible with PHP 7.

We cannot guarantee compatibility with third party add-ons, though.

Yes, you get some performance boost. The only addon that I found with problemas was widget framework 2.5.9. Version 2.6 (alpha/beta) are working with some minor bugs.

You wont find a specific value. In my case I see 20% to 40% increase.
