ESP8266 - Cannot initialize ESP module

I want to start a simple web server via ESP8266 using Arduino Uno. Right now, my goal is only to get the codes that create the webserver. I will use these codes in one of my projects. But right now, I do not see it necessary to share as the project description will be very detailed. I do not know how to resolve the Cannot initialize ESP module error, thank you in advance for your help.

The error lines I get on the serial port screen are exactly as follows,
[WiFiEsp] Initializing ESP module
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] Cannot initialize ESP module
[WiFiEsp] >>> TIMEOUT >>>
[WiFiEsp] No tag found
WiFi shield not present

I also add the codes I use here. I got the codes from this link -> WiFiEsp/WebServerAP.ino at master · bportaluri/WiFiEsp · GitHub

#include "WiFiEsp.h"

// Emulate Serial1 on pins 6/7 if not present
#ifndef HAVE_HWSERIAL1
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial Serial1(6, 7); // RX, TX
#endif

char ssid[] = "asdfgh";          // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "asdfgh";          // your network password
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;     // the Wifi radio's status
int reqCount = 0;                // number of requests received

WiFiEspServer server(80);

// use a ring buffer to increase speed and reduce memory allocation
RingBuffer buf(8);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);   // initialize serial for debugging
  Serial1.begin(9600);    // initialize serial for ESP module
  WiFi.init(&Serial1);    // initialize ESP module

  // check for the presence of the shield
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
    Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
    while (true); // don't continue
  }

  Serial.print("Attempting to start AP ");
  Serial.println(ssid);

  // uncomment these two lines if you want to set the IP address of the AP
  //IPAddress localIp(192, 168, 111, 111);
  //WiFi.configAP(localIp);
  
  // start access point
  status = WiFi.beginAP(ssid, 10, pass, ENC_TYPE_WPA2_PSK);

  Serial.println("Access point started");
  printWifiStatus();
  
  // start the web server on port 80
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("Server started");
}


void loop()
{
  WiFiEspClient client = server.available();  // listen for incoming clients

  if (client) {                               // if you get a client,
    Serial.println("New client");             // print a message out the serial port
    buf.init();                               // initialize the circular buffer
    while (client.connected()) {              // loop while the client's connected
      if (client.available()) {               // if there's bytes to read from the client,
        char c = client.read();               // read a byte, then
        buf.push(c);                          // push it to the ring buffer

        // you got two newline characters in a row
        // that's the end of the HTTP request, so send a response
        if (buf.endsWith("\r\n\r\n")) {
          sendHttpResponse(client);
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(10);

    // close the connection
    client.stop();
    Serial.println("Client disconnected");
  }
}

void sendHttpResponse(WiFiEspClient client)
{
  client.print(
    "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
    "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
    "Connection: close\r\n"  // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
    "Refresh: 20\r\n"        // refresh the page automatically every 20 sec
    "\r\n");
  client.print("<!DOCTYPE HTML>\r\n");
  client.print("<html>\r\n");
  client.print("<h1>Hello World!</h1>\r\n");
  client.print("Requests received: ");
  client.print(++reqCount);
  client.print("
\r\n");
  client.print("Analog input A0: ");
  client.print(analogRead(0));
  client.print("
\r\n");
  client.print("</html>\r\n");
}

void printWifiStatus()
{
  // print your WiFi shield's IP address
  IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
  Serial.print("IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(ip);

  // print where to go in the browser
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("To see this page in action, connect to ");
  Serial.print(ssid);
  Serial.print(" and open a browser to http://");
  Serial.println(ip);
  Serial.println();
}

Interesting you do not want to share but you want us to share. Your application sounds like a commercial application, and for that you need to get the appropriate releases etc for each piece of library code etc you use. All the codes you need have been published on many web sites, just look around and you will find them.
