cURL error for cron

Question

I have this error which causes me a lot of trouble with all of my crons for some of my website :

cURL error 28: connect() timed out!

The websites are stored on a shared servers i guess, how can I fix it ? Can't find something to help me on this point anywhere...

Answer 1

This error is most often related to the server configuration!

Contact your hosting company and ask the hosting support to check the following points:

• The server is running a recent version of PHP and the cURL library.
• Increase PHP Memory Limit settings.
• Ask your web host if there is some limitation with wp-cron, or if loopback is disabled.
• Ask your WebHost if there a firewall or security module (e.g. mod_security ) that could block outgoing cURL requests.
• Your hosting company might need to switch DNS configuration to something like OpenDNS.
