My pages do load slightly faster, but probably depends on your scripts as well.

Although I will say, this was one of the easier transitions I have encountered, going from server default PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.1.

Only had one script where "headers" were the culprit.

Just make sure your template scripts are at current release levels, then there's no issue with going to PHP 7+
