 * You need to talk to your hosting provider. Connection between your server and
   Facebook.com is unstable.

 * Let me explain how it works.
 * Plugin does not connect to Facebook by itself. It asks WordPress to do it by 
   calling standard WordPress function wp_remote_get().
 * WordPress also does not connect to Facebook by itself when asked. It asks PHP
   to do it by calling standard php curl_exec() function.
 * PHP also does not connect to Facebook by itself when asked. It asks the system
   binary library that installed on the server and called “cURL” to do it.
 * That library connects to Facebook. That library generates “Connection timed out
   after 5000 milliseconds” error and passes it to PHP that pases it to Wodpress
   that pases it to the plugin.
 * Only your hosting provider could answer why library generates that error and 
   do something about that.
