 * I don’t seem to be able to do a full scan without an error like this occurring
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Errors - Please report errors occuring here to our plugin support forum at WordPress.orgResponse error from server (code=500)<html><head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title><style>@media (prefers-color-scheme:dark){body{background-color:#000!important}}</style></head><body><h2>Request Timeout</h2><p>This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server.

       ```
   
 * I have a server with 512M memory available etc. See the php.ini file
 *     ```wp-block-code
       ; cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit; Manual editing of this file may result in unexpected behavior.; To make changes to this file, use the cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor); For more information, read our documentation (https://go.cpanel.net/EA4ModifyINI)display_errors = Offmax_execution_time = 600max_input_time = 600max_input_vars = 1000memory_limit = 512Mpost_max_size = 100Msession.gc_maxlifetime = 1440session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/alt-php83"upload_max_filesize = 50Mzlib.output_compression = Off

 * I’m sorry about that. The error message says the process took too long. That’s
   strange, since I intentionally designed the plugin to prevent this error. Your
   settings are all perfectly fine as well.
 * Could you tell me which hosting provider you’re using? Do you happen to have 
   any error logs you could share?
 * Best regards, Marcel
