 * Has anyone had the same issue with Yoast causing a REST API error after updating
   to WP 5.8.2? In Site Health, all my websites are now displaying this error, togther
   with “The REST API request failed due to an error. Error: cURL error 28: Operation
   timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)”

 * Hi [@bsthp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsthp/)
 * We understand you are receiving this error message from Site Health. If you were
   to temporarily deactivate the Yoast SEO plugin, do you not receive the notification
   anymore?
 * The issue you’re currently experiencing is specific to the PHP cURL extension
   and shouldn’t necessarily be due to the Yoast SEO plugin.
 * The cURL 28 error means that your server was unable to communicate within the
   set time limit. This can be caused by, for example, a very slow web host or a
   firewall.

 * Michael, thanks for your feedback. Yes, once Yoast was deactivated, the issue
   disappeared. However, it has now been fixed by extending the max_execution_time
   to 1000 in my php.ini file i.e. max_execution_time = 1000;
