SEO Analyzer is “timing out”

    Your analyzer is timing out and not performing the SEO analysis. I’ve read that I shoudl consider rankmath over Yoast but i’ve been having more troubles than ever getting it set up… now the analyzer isn’t working. I read how to fix it and you guys say to get my host to whitelist the IP and add the user-agent. My host, Bluehost responded with this:

    “The rankmath IPs are globally blocked on the Bluehost shared servers. If the bots are crawling your sites for SEO purposes, I would suggest you to recommend looking into alternatives that would put less of a strain on our shared server.”

    And this…

    “We just blocked the bot which causes more stain on the shared server.
    If rankmath is something that you require for your account I would advise that you upgrade the account to a VPS/Dedicated Hosting. With a VPS/Dedicated hosting, we do not control any security features and rankmath will be able to run without any issue. Its remorseful to say this.”

    I really hope this isn’t the issue and that i’m not required to pay more for hosting just to get this SEO analysis to run. So far, it’s seeming like i might need to look at Yoast again…

    Looking forward to a fix on this.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please edit the following plugin file:
    /includes/modules/seo-analysis/class-seo-analyzer.php

    Then, change the following line (line number 358):
    $request = wp_remote_get( $api_url, [ 'timeout' => 20 ] );

    Increase the timeout value to 60:
    $request = wp_remote_get( $api_url, [ 'timeout' => 60 ] );

    The SEO analysis should start working as expected.

    Or, you could also use the online version of the tool which is just as good:

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
