    This plugin is compatible with all versions of PHP from PHP 5.6 upwards, including PHP 8.x releases. We develop it primarily on the latest PHP 8.x release, and it has many active users on all compatible PHP versions.

    If you are running a static analysis “compatibility checker” tool on it, please be aware that this only checks for what code *exists*, not what code is *run on a particular PHP version*. Since the plugin is compatible with several PHP versions, it contains code that may not necessarily run on your version.

    These compatibility checkers are sometimes unhelpful to plugin authors. They’re well-intentioned, but few people understand how to interpret the results. When the authors of the checker tools encourage end-users to personally verify the results for actively maintained plugins on long-released PHP versions (more than a few weeks for the major release series, e.g. 8.1, 8.2) with plugin authors, it’s a large amount of wasted effort for both the site owners and the plugin authors. It would make more sense if the creators of these tools would look into creating ways for users to share verified results with explanations from skilled users, and white-list non-issues. Without that, what is happening is that they are asking less-technically skilled end-users to look into the same sets of non-issues personally, repeatedly. It gives the feeling that important compatibility work is being done, when in reality it’s mostly a waste of time.

  • Hello,

    My name is WAMI FRANCLIN from Cameroon. I downloaded Premium WP Optimize. But I can’t succeed to upload.

    THIS IS THE ERROR MESSAGE I RECEIVED.

    The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

    I even increased the upload_max_filesize in CPANEL but still have the same errors.

    I HAVE THE PREMIUM VERSION. I purchased it last Saturday, 21st, 2023.

    Please help solve this issue or get me a full refund.

    Best regards

    I was using PHP 8.0. Although you say the plugin is compatible with 8.0, five of my websites gave a 503 error. I host on Namecheap. When I contacted their support, they checked and let me know that it was was this plugin that generated the 503 error. When I disabled it, the sites were up immediately. Also changing to 7.4 & 8.1 also worked. But I am scared to enable the plugin on my websites.

    Can you help me understand what could have gone wrong?
