 * Hey
    I’ve used the plugin before on this site (bulokk.be) and it worked perfectly.
   I had a crash, had to go to a previous back-up. Tried to use the plugin again(
   with same ssl) and I got this error message (cURL error 28 Connection timed out
   after 10001 milliseconds). Checked with host and ssl is working perfectly according
   to them. What did I do wrong.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcurl-error-28-30%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It happens when I try to test the sites ssl certificate.
    How do I add a screenshot?
   I don’t see a place that I can add an attachment here. sorry.

 * No problem, don’t need screenshot if the error when you test the certificate.
   
   Unfortunately, I’m not sure what’s causing it. I assume that for some reason 
   the server is not responding when it attempts to check the certificate.
 * Do you have any security plugins like Wordfence? Maybe some firewall is blocking
   the request.
