 * I don’t think its a core issue. Disabling Cache-Control (Static File Headers)
   stops the issue. It’s not been a problem before.
 * To do this, browser cache should:
    - Exclude `.php`, or
    - Exclude `/wp-admin/`, or
    - Apply only to static assets (CSS, JS, images).

 * We haven’t had a fix for this, other than a suggestion from WP-Optimize to update
   our PHP version, however as you say it’s affecting PHP 8.3/8.4 as reported by
   other users.
 * We have just disabled the browser caching feature by going into Static File Headers
   and setting the Browser static file caching headers Expiration time to 0 which
   disables it. You may need to also clear the cache in WP-Optimize and on your 
   browser and restart to make sure the new cache settings are picked up. Make sure
   that the website can update .htaccess and any Cache-Control settings are no longer
   there.
 * In reality this only has a minor impact on performance in the real world, but
   in our opinion this is a major bug that should be fixed in the plugin. Backend
   pages should never be cached.

 * To answer your questions, we are running Apache.
 * On the php8 site we tested, it is the same hosting environment, but a different
   server.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Thank you.

 * They will be updated soon, but for now it would be good to get a version working
   with PHP 7.4 as it’s still widely used.

 * Some additional info, we are running PHP 7.4.3 for this particular site. We did
   test on another site running php 8.1.2, and the issue did not come up. This may
   not be relevant, but thought I would let you know as this may help with debugging.

 * Hi,
 * We are using Version 4.4.0, the latest version, but we also experienced this 
   on the previous version too.
 * Also, we have replicated this issue on multiple websites.
 * Look forward to hearing back.
 * Many thanks
