As WordPress 7.1 began rolling out, within the last 30 minutes we're seeing a number of websites offline due to a compatibility issues with WP Rocket. Working on a patch and rollout. Should have everything back up and restored here shortly.

WP Rocket doesn't have a patch yet so we patched it directly with our v3.23.2.2. All customers affected with the WP Rocket + WordPress 7.1 compatible issue should be restored. Whenever WP Rocket does release an official fix, customers should automatically upgrade to that. There were a few other plugins with similar compatible issues with v7.1. Reviewing and fixing as I discover them.
