Title: cURL error 28 / wp_remote_get() Last modified: June 19, 2020 --- # cURL error 28 / wp_remote_get() * Resolved [Alkorr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alkorr/) * (@alkorr) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-28-wp_remote_get/) * Hi, I found another issue with this plugin using Query Monitor so I’m sharing, hoping a solution will be found. I started a new topic although I think the problem is similar to my [Certificate verification disabled (sslverify=false)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/certificate-verification-disabled-sslverifyfalse-4/) post because I think it’s also about the WordPress wp_remote_get() function being executed with “sslverify = false”. * Here’s what I get from Query Monitor: - URL [https://indexability.yoast.onpage.org/?url=https://www.mywebsite.com&wp_version=5.4.2&yseo_version=14.3](https://indexability.yoast.onpage.org/?url=https://www.mywebsite.com&wp_version=5.4.2&yseo_version=14.3) - STATUS cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 5000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received - CALLER WPSEO_Ryte_Request->get_remote() wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/ admin/ryte/class-ryte-request.php:39 WPSEO_Ryte_Request->do_request() wp-content/ plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/ryte/class-ryte-request.php:53 WPSEO_Ryte->request_indexability() wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/ryte/class-ryte.php:162 WPSEO_Ryte- >fetch_from_ryte() wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/ryte/class-ryte. php:130 WPSEO_Health_Check_Ryte->run() wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/ health-check-ryte.php:39 WPSEO_Health_Check->get_test_result() wp-content/ plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/health-check.php:142 WP_Site_Health->perform_test() wp-admin/includes/class-wp-site-health.php:171 WP_Site_Health->enqueue_scripts() wp-admin/includes/class-wp-site-health.php:123 do_action(‘admin_enqueue_scripts’) wp-includes/plugin.php:478 - COMPONENT Plugin: wordpress-seo * Any idea why this happens?

The Ryte check is a single call to the Ryte services. They, in turn, try to reach your website to see if it’s accessible / indexible by robots. If they see your website, this check passes. If you’re on a development / staging website, they probably can’t see your website and this health check will report an error. * The cause of these errors can lie anywhere on the route between your website and the Ryte servers. - • Your own website / server can have (security) protocols or even plugins or code in place that prevent this request from completing. • The route over the internet from your website to Ryte can be broken somehow (extremely unlikely, but still). • Some system in between your website and Ryte does not allow / process this call, maybe due to security reasons / because your website is on a blacklisted server. * While it’s not a nice error to see, it’s difficult to pinpoint why this happens. And it’s almost impossible for someone who is not the website owner / host to determine this. * Having said that, this is an error that does not influence your site rank in any way. If the error would say that your website can’t be found by search engines, that would be reason to investigate. You can read more in this article ( https:// yoast.com/yoast-seo-ryte/ ) and there are even a few links to run this test manually. * Additionally, if you wish to disable the Ryte check we have instructions on how to do this here: [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/disable-indexability-check/](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/disable-indexability-check/) * [Jerlyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jerparx/) * (@jerparx) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-28-wp_remote_get/#post-13036902) * [@alkorr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alkorr/) , * We’re closing this thread because we haven’t heard back from you in a while.

I waited a couple of days before replying to check if it was a recurring error. It did happen twice since I posted my message, but not anymore, so far. I read the page you mentioned and since you say this is an error that does not influence my site rank, I’ll check from time to time if it happens again.
