Your Java version if out of date. (but it isn't- Java 8 Update 111)

*iMac late 2013, macOS Sierra v. 10.12.5

A website that I need to access uses Java. I've accessed this website many times without incident.

Today I signed in- and the Pop up for Java appears, giving me options to update :later, block or update:

I checked System Prefs>Java>Update - Your system has the recommended version of Java.

...

I was able to use the website by clicking "later"- just wondering if perhaps this pop - up wanted me to update or install something that really is not legit.

Thanks

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.5), Late 2013 iMac 21.5

Oracle Java 8 131 is the most current version for web based applications for Mac OS

https://www.java.com/en/download/

if you run Java 8 131 and are still running into issues you would need to ask the web page developer why the message appears.

Ask Oracle, that Java is theirs.

Apple has their own Java, but it is for stand alone applications, not web based ones. The two Java's are entirely unrelated in what they support and how they are supported.
