Description

Hi,

This is not a bug report, but a question regarding compatibility. Are there plans to update this project for **WordPress 6.9 and PHP 8.2+**? With 2026 just starting, a stable and fully compatible release would be very welcome.

We’re open to any solutions that could help us further optimize performance. We’re currently using WP Rocket for traditional page caching. **We’re happy to cover the cost if this requires a significant amount of work for our websites.**

Thank you for your continued work.
John
