Critical Issue
-
Hello.
I’m experiencing a critical issue after updating to version 13.2.7.
Problem:
After updating to v13.2.7, my WordPress Site Health shows a loopback request failure with the following error:
“cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 5001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (Code: http_request_failed)”
This prevents WordPress from making internal requests to itself and causes the site health check to fail.Steps to reproduce:
- Update plugin to version 13.2.7
- Navigate to Tools → Site Health in WordPress dashboard
- Error appears: “Unable to detect page cache due to possible loopback request problem”
What I’ve tested:
- Disabled all security plugins – issue persisted
- Disabled Widgets for Google Reviews v13.2.7 – issue immediately resolved
- Re-enabled the plugin – issue returns
This confirms the plugin is causing the loopback timeout.
Environment:
WordPress version: 6.9.1
Hosting: NameHero shared hosting
PHP version: 8.3.30
Plugin version: 13.2.7Please investigate this issue and provide a fix or workaround. The site functions normally with the plugin disabled, so this appears to be a bug introduced in the recent update.
