 * Hi Tibbie,
   Our plugin has been tested with PHP 8.2 and 8.3 and **works fine.**
   This issue is explained in detail (with suggestions) on our **FAQ page** under
   the question “**Headers sent prematurely**.”
 * In short, it means that another plugin or theme is sending the headers prematurely,
   which prevents our plugin from blocking the bot.

 * I turned off the WP Fastest cache preload option and the number of errors went
   from at least 10 per minute to about 1 per 15 minutes for a period – now none.
   Not a problem leaving off for me as was killing the server… S
