 * Hi @digitalgpoint, thanks for getting in touch. cURL errors are typically hosting
   related. If you’d like to share the following we can may be able to determine
   more on this:
    1. Your [Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png). You can [use this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lhjns2K7c0Ny7ME4gxTcsnYtNUtcMr8BvFpPQi23Y1E/)
       to share privately if preferred. If using the form please also share your current
       hosting provider.
    2. At what stage do you encounter this error? For example is this during setup 
       or on the Site Kit dashboard?
    3. Do you see any warnings or errors when checking your Site Health status (_[Tools > Site Health > Status](https://i.imgur.com/wSRWwon.png)_),
       which differs from your Site Health information requested above? Such errors
       may include REST endpoint references.
 * Once we have the above we can advise further on this. Let me know if you have
   any other questions in the meantime.

 * [@digitalgpoint](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalgpoint/) Thanks for
   sharing the information. I can see you’ve been using the healthcheck an troubleshoot
   plugin but could I ask you if you manually disable all plugins except for Site
   Kit, o you encounter the same issues?
 * This will rule out any potential third party plugin conflict if there is one 
   causing this. If you continue to experience the same we can focus on other areas.

 * Hi [@adamdunnage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdunnage/) Thanks for
   checking the issue,
 * Yes, I checked after uninstalling the Site Kit plugin, and the issue was not 
   occurring. Should I uninstall the “**Health Check & Troubleshooting**” plugin
   if it is not required?
 * Note: The issue resolved automatically, and I’m not sure how. I am not seeing
   the issue in the Site Kit dashboard now. But could you please try to find out
   the root cause?

 * [@digitalgpoint](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalgpoint/) Yes, feel
   free to remove any plugins you are not using. Could you confirm if the issue 
   stopped when you only had Site Kit active? Or did you have all plugins active
   at the time the issue stopped?
 * If the issue resolved itself before you were able to disable any plugins then
   it will be difficult to find a cause for this. However, if the issue is resolved
   when you have only Site Kit active, this points to a plugin conflict. You will
   be able to find the plugin causing this by enabling all other plugins one by 
   one and checking your Site Kit each time until the error surfaces once more.

 * Hi [@adamdunnage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamdunnage/) Thanks for
   supporting
 * The issue has been resolved now. The issue was occurring due to the site kit 
   plugin. I uninstalled the site kit plugin and the issue was not occurring. The
   issue is not occurring now, all the plugins are installed including site kit.
   Next time when the issue occurs, we will find out the exact root cause because
   we cannot find out the issue right now.

   And yes, should you encounter this or any other issues, or if you have any general
   Site Kit query, be sure to get in touch here in the support forums.
