 * Hello,
 * We’re having problems with 123-reg. They suspend websites if they detect a script
   running for over two minutes.
 * 123-reg have identifed post.php which is the script that is causing the problem.
   We have put max execution time (90 seconds) and its counterparts into the HTACCES,
   php.ini and wp-config. Yet nothing seems to fix this issue.
 * We are getting the issue when in the backend(dashboard)and when we are editing
   a page.

 * It may be the “heartbeat”. Disable or limit it and see if they’re happier. (You
   won’t be, but that’s another matter.)
