 * Hi there,
 * just a few questions before install:
 * x) does it work with PHP 7.3
    x) does it alter or somehow blocks my own robots.
   txt (or can i still use my own robots.txt) x) is there any higher CPU load or
   memory usage to expect, if yes how much should we include more?
 * Thank you very much!

 * Hi,
 * You are welcome.
    I tested in my server up to PHP 7.2 but nobody complains about
   7.3. We don’t touch your robots.txt Blocking the bots, you can expect to save
   memory and CPU.
 * Cheers,
    Bill
