 * When I activate this plugin, I get the following CRITICAL errors in “Site Health”
    - The REST API encountered an error
    - Your site could not complete a loopback request
 * *Recommended Improvements
    - An error occurred while checking whether your site can be found by search 
      engines
    - Background updates may not be working properly
 * When I deactivate the plugin, they all go away. What seems to be the issue?

 * The error is typically related to a hosting/server configuration. You can get
   some more details by searching online for “curl error 28 meaning” or this post
   has been helpful for others on the topic here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-28-operation-timed-out-after-10000-milliseconds/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-28-operation-timed-out-after-10000-milliseconds/)
 * In the future, our plan is to modify our background process functionality as 
   we move away from Google Services API to a new cloud print solution architect
   and overall new solution. In the interim the impact on functionality and overall
   performance from this error is minimal with only a small reduction in background
   process performance.

 * Regarding the impact. This plugin has had a significant impact on site performance,
   especially on the WP dashboard. Site performance returns to normal after deactivation
   of plugin.
 * I noticed in your recommended thread that the users were using Stripe as we are,
   so, I’m going to check for errors coming from Stripe.
 * Thanks for the feedback.

 * A quick update on our side. We did more optimizations to hopefully reduce the
   risk of the loopback breaking related to the Print API functionality, released
   in version 3.0.11.
 * We’ll close this support forum post, but if the issue still persists, please 
   feel free to reopen the post and provide any logs available related to the error
   on your site.
