## Overview

Discourse hosted sites follow a flexible deployment schedule that balances the need for stability with the importance of keeping sites updated. This guide explains the general deployment patterns and what influences them.

## Deployment frequency

Your hosted Discourse site may receive deployments at different intervals, depending on various factors:

### Security updates

⚠ When security vulnerabilities are discovered:

- Sites are proactively deployed with fixes as quickly as possible (typically within hours or days)
- The deployment speed depends on the assessed impact and risk level of the vulnerability

### Bug fixes

When significant bugs affecting multiple customers are identified:

- Sites receive proactive deployments with necessary fixes
- The timing depends on the severity and scope of the bug

### Regular updates

Even without security issues or bugs:

- All sites receive updates at least once every 2 months
- Some sites may receive more frequent updates
- The exact timing varies based on several factors, including:
  - Overall platform maintenance needs
  - Installation of new plugins (Enterprise)

## Checking your Discourse version

To find out which version of Discourse your site is currently running, you can:

1. Head to your Discourse forum homepage
