 * [@coleraine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coleraine/) This is possibly
   due to your hosting provider blocking incoming REST API requests, or alternatively
   issues with security plugins or software. Do you have any other sites on the 
   same web host you can test with?

 * [@coleraine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coleraine/) Which hosting provider
   are you using? Additionally you want to share your [Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png)
   we might be able to spot something.

 * [@coleraine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coleraine/) Thanks for the update,
   before checking with your host can you attempt the following:
    1. Deactivate 
   and delete the plugin from your WordPress plugins panel 2. Open up the Chrome
   browser [incognito mode](https://i.imgur.com/ALzgiHp.png) 3. Temporarily deactivate
   any caching or security plugin you have active (iThemes, WordFence etc). There
   may be configuration settings in either impacting setup. 4. Install and activate
   Site Kit from the WordPress repository
 * If that fails you may need to disable ModSecurity from your hosting control panel
   before trying again.
