Hello,
I use the free Version of Rankmath and after 7th June i get a lot of timeout failures while crawling. The Crawl Message robots.txt fetch too Long. Sometimes it crawls only 1 url with timeout. My robots.txt is complete Open. I dont understand the timeout failures it must have to do with a Rankmath Update.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Could you please share the affected website URL so we can check as well?
Meanwhile, try clearing your website’s cache and check again. You can also check for server-side caching that is caching your robots.txt file.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I still cleared chache, repaired my SQL Database and used all Tools from Rankmath for reset. Nothing of that was the right solution.
Hello,
Please ensure that your server resources can handle the heavy load of bot crawlers.
If you are certain that Rank Math is causing the issue, you may temporarily deactivate the plugin and try checking it again on Ahrefs.
Also, please get in touch with your web host and ask them to ensure the following values are met:
PHP Memory Limit: 512M Max input time: 150 PHP time limit: 120 PHP max input variables: 1000Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hello Jeremy,
Thanks for you answer. After deactivating Rankmath an clear the Cache the timeout still exist. A few days ago i save my permalinks again that there is a clear .htaccess File also.
The requests to the Holster is Out, what i know is that my Server must have 512M, the Rest Parameters i am Not Sure.
The thing is that WordPress also didn’t Shows troubleshot.
Before i switched to WordPress i User GRAV CMS and there wasnt this timeout Problem. Since around 2 Month i use WordPress and now since 7th June the Problems I had. In this time there was the WordPress 6.0 Update and also a Rankmath update too, thats why i ASK here.
Is any conflict known Rankmath with the Plugin: Link whisper, that i tried temporary, but removed it.Hello,
My webhoster sent me the paremeter from the Server, some of them are high than needed and 512M was what i know before.
Do you have any ideas what else i can check? Are there other known User with this Problem?Thanks
Hello,
As the issue persists when Rank Math is deactivated, this is most likely an issue with the web host.
Rank Math is compatible with the latest WordPress version and there are no known conflicts with the Link Whisper plugin.
You can refer to this detailed guide from Ahrefs regarding this issue:

Thank you.
Hello Anas,
Thanks for the additional Help. Yesterday I made some Tests at the end i’ve seen that my curl Version was only 7.29. For WordPress is a higher curl Version recommended. I pleased the hoster Support to Update the curl Version. I let you know when its done if it was the right solution for my timeouts.Hello,
Let us know how it goes.
Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Actually it’s not planed to Update but it will come with an Operation system Update maybe later…whenever. The reason is that a Lot of WordPress Sites are running sucessful so they dont See the need actually.
It doesnt bring happyness to me, the customer.OK after another Message to the hoster i See now a Message this night will come a maintenance, so tomorrow i will check what they have changed.

Hello Jeremy,
The Problem is solved. I sent another Message to the webhoster because i found in my error.log failures called:
[Mon Jun 14 14:16:06xxxxx 2021] [ssl:warn] [pid xxxxxxx:tid xxxxxxxx] AH01909: RSA certificate configured for xxxserver.de:443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
The reason was that they blocked a few days ago some ahrefs IPs because of to much Traffic.
They removed the IP Block and now is crawling fine.So it’s not a Problem caused of Rank Math!
Thanks you all for you Support Power!!!
