Hello Duane,
Thanks a lot for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
Please get in touch with your web host and ask them to enable cURL on your server and if it is enabled already – please ask them to whitelist RankMath.com so all the tests are run properly
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Todd,
Thanks for the response. My web host is HostGator, according to their knowledge base cURL is enabled by default on all their servers per: https://www.hostgator.com/help/article/curl
Also, Rank Math SEO analysis originally worked on my WebSite but quit working a couple of days ago. I’m also, using RankMath on another HostGator shared WebSite I have in the same account and that one is not experiencing the cURL timeout.
I will call HostGator but I suspect they will tell me cURL is enabled.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The same error is reported when testing this from our online analyzer.
Could you please change the following line that can be found in class-seo-analyzer.php on line 358 on this path: ..\wp-content\plugins\seo-by-rank-math\includes\modules\seo-analysis from:
$request = wp_remote_get( $api_url, [ 'timeout' => 20 ] );
to
$request = wp_remote_get( $api_url, [ 'timeout' => 60 ] );
Let me know if this fixes the problem.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Awesome that did the trick! Thanks, I will keep this info just in case I need to update the plugin and re-do it.
FYI, I’m a retired S/W engineer. It’s not a good practice to have hard coded values embedded in the code. It should be a variable constant defined in a constants file or at the top of the file. It’s easier to maintain that way.
Anyway, I love to RankMath tool.
Thanks,
Duane
