 * Hi,
 * On my **debug.log** I read this warning:
 * “_PHP Deprecated: mb\_convert\_encoding(): Handling HTML entities via mbstring
   is deprecated; use htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, or mb\_encode\_numericentity/
   mb\_decode\_numericentity instead in C:\wamp64\www\paduli.dmi\wp-content\plugins\
   core-web-vitals-pagespeed-booster\includes\images\convert-webp.php on line 88_“.
 * Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed Booster v.1.0.20
 * PHP 8.2.10
