 * Hello [@mcworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcworks/) !
 * Hope you’re doing great today!
 * The Performance Test doesn’t require specific URLs to be whitelisted to run, 
   however you may want to whitelist our IPs: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/wpmu-dev-ip-addresses/](https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/wpmu-dev-ip-addresses/)
 * Can you also confirm that the test can be run from here? [https://pagespeed.web.dev](https://pagespeed.web.dev)–
   we are using the Google’s PageSpeed API to provide the results and if Google 
   isn’t able to run the test, the Performance Test in Hummingbird will also be 
   affected.
 * Warm regards,
    Pawel

 * Well, in my case the http are blocked and usually allow outgoing based on url,
   the IP doesn’t seem to work. Ive added pagespeed.web.dev but still seems need
   another url. I’m thinking must be specific url from your end that I need to exclude?

 * Hi [@mcworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcworks/)
 * I understand that but there really is no specific URL form our end. We only communicate
   via API and the IPs that are used here are not “tied” to any domains (this is
   a distributed/cloud system).
 * Furthermore, we do use Google’s API to perform performance test (so essentially
   running PageSpeed test) but that also happens on the API basis.
 * The question is – if you run directly pagespeed.web.dev – it also doesn’t work
   for you or it does?
 * This is probably the main issue here as Google also uses different/various IPs
   to perform tests. In fact the test requests may not even be coming form that 
   domain. Unfortunately, they don’t disclose/share any “fixed” list of IPs that
   could be involved (so even if we’d want to “proxy” that somehow through some 
   domain, it’s not doable here).
 * Basically, what happens is that
 * you trigger Performance Test in plugin -> a request goes to our API -> which 
   communicates with Google Page Speed API -> then the test is performed by them
   and we have no way to tell “where it comes from” exactly -> the result is pushed
   back to our API -> which then parses and formats it, includes additional information
   etc -> and pushes back to the plugin which displays it for you.
 * In general, you need to have two way HTTPS requests (as our API works over regular
   HTTPS) to and from our IPs, plus PageSpeed must work fine on site. I’m afraid
   there’s no other way to overcome that.
 * Kind regards
    Adam

 * Thanks that is understood I’ve excluded the google api[pagespeed.web.dev] what
   are yours so can whitelist them as well.

 * Hi [@mcworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcworks/)
 * Does the site is under some security/firewall/proxy on the hosting level? If 
   so what it is and what settings are there which could help us to fully understand
   what is behind the curtain.
