 * Hello,
 * I found out some crucial issues like latest WordPress compatibility, PHP compatibility,
   and memory usage of your plugin from a third-party repository.
 * I just wanted to figure out are those valid allegations? Or, are they just showing
   backdated data?
 * And if it’s true that your plugin is consuming more memory then how it would 
   be resolved.
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-compatibility-issue-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Connections is compatible with 5.6.20 or higher. It is currently developed on
   PHP 8.0.1.
 * Connections is compatible with WordPress 5.2 and newer, including WordPress 5.8.1(
   the version currently developed on).
 * Regarding memory in real-world use, here’s an example in WordPress 5.8.1 on PHP
   8.0.11 with 70+ popular and obscure plugins installed and activated for compatibility
   testing.
 * The WordPress Posts admin page displaying 50 posts: Load => .7s, 88,021kB
    The
   Connections Manage admin page displaying 50 entries: Load => .7s, 87,440kB
 * I am not sure I would put take too from the results shown on that site. Example,
   see the page for WooCommerce:
    - [https://wphive.com/plugins/woocommerce/](https://wphive.com/plugins/woocommerce/)
 * I hope this helps!
