 * Site worked fine previously. This morning the back-end has been extremely slow
   and checked with Jetpack got this error:
 * Outbound HTTPS not working
    Your site could not connect to WordPress.com via 
   HTTPS. This could be due to any number of reasons, including faulty SSL certificates,
   misconfigured or missing SSL libraries, or network issues.
 * ————-
 * Checking with the hosting company to figure out what is wrong. Also on a non-
   ssl site, I having issue connecting to WordPress.org site. It is very slow opening
   up dashboard and updating plugins produces error messages on (update.php) connecting
   to WordPress.org.
 * Disabling Jetpack seems to work but Dashboard is still slow opening up (connecting
   to wordpress.org could be the issue).
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foutbound-https-not-working-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@qdhd99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qdhd99/)
 * Glad to help!
 * If your site is not connected with the Jetpack and the issue persists, that means
   an error with your hosting, not with the plugin. Jetpack makes the connection
   between WordPress.com systems and your website.
 * Note that SSL errors are related to the hosting, not with your website. You need
   to ask them to reinstall the certificate, then force all the access via HTTPS(
   via htaccess or server setup).
 * To avoid errors with SSL and your site’s files, I recommend you to install the
   plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/)
 * Let me know if you have any questions.
 * My best regards,
 * Michelle C.

 * Thank you for your reply, Michelle. Appreciated.
 * The problem I am having is that all my ssl-enabled sites (10 sites) are experiencing
   the same issue. My hosting has yet to get back to me. The plugin recommended 
   does not help with issue. Hope to find out why out of blue this is happening.

 * This is something that looks like an issue from your host. It would be worth 
   checking what they are saying and why the issue started to appear suddenly on
   all sites hosted on the same provider.

 * Thank you Animesh. Our hosting company finally solved the problem. The hosting
   company’s control panel server crashed and for some reason it affected ssl connections
   to both wordpress.com and wordpress.org. This made backend admin and news posting
   almost impossible. It did not in any way have impact on web performance as there
   was no ssl request to be made to either wp.com or wp.org. Thanks for your help.
