So, trying to get an answer here to at least this question: The timeout says 10034 milliseconds, that is roughly 10 seconds. Yet, I cannot find anything close to that value in any php or WP config files. Where does the cURL 10 second timeout value live?

Wow…somehow I lost a lengthy response to this….
I did take option 2 from above and ran this script:

<?php
// Initialize cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://ww.wp.xz.cn");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // Return the response as a string
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); // Follow redirects, if any
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true); // Verify SSL certificate

// Optional: Set a user agent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36");

// Execute the cURL request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo "cURL Error: " . curl_error($ch);
} else {
// Print the response
echo "Response from ww.wp.xz.cn:\n";
echo $response;
}

// Close the cURL session
curl_close($ch);

It returned content so I don’t think firewall is an issue. I went back and retraced my steps. The timeout is set to 300 seconds, which by my calculations is 300,000 milliseconds which is why I wonder that the WordPress Events and News widget has this: RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: Resolving timed out after 10030 milliseconds. Is there some other cURL setting somewhere?….

Clicking on the “Updates” and waiting for 300+2 seconds before it times out reveals this:
Secure Connection Failed. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Which is again strange, because the domain is secured by a wildcard certificate and other WP pages will display just fine. It’s the wp-admin functions that seem to have issues. The error on checking for updates occurs on the /wp-admin/update-core.php file which should be OK. The Apache directives don’t explicitly allow access to the wp-admin folder but that shouldn’t be necessary since it is a subfolder of the wp folder that is explicitly allowed with a “Require all granted” directive.

Still digging but reall.y appreciate your response
