# Enable PHP extensions on your hosting

Some websites need PHP extensions such as `mysqli`, `imagick` or `redis`. Enable the extension when your website or WordPress says it is missing.

## Faster: let an AI app do it

If you’ve connected Inleed to an AI app, just write what you want done, for example:

> Enable the imagick PHP extension on the hosting for example.se

Done. imagick is enabled for your hosting’s PHP version.
