 Hello,
 I am experiencing a false positive/negative warning in the Site Health
 tool under WordPress 7.0. The tool reports that "Opcode cache is not
 enabled".

 However, checking the server's phpinfo() clearly shows that Zend OPcache
 is "Up and Running" (enabled on the server level by the hosting provider).

 According to my hosting support (Blueboard.cz), on shared hosting
 environments, direct management/clearing of OPcache via PHP functions
 (like opcache_reset) is restricted for security and stability reasons to
 prevent users from affecting other tenants on the same server.

 It seems that the Site Health tool in WP 7.0 flags OPcache as disabled
 simply because it lacks administrative privileges to control it, even
 though the caching mechanism is actively running and optimizing the site.
 Could the check be adjusted to only look for the extension status, rather
 than requiring full write/reset permissions?

 Thank you!
