    Hey – quick question: are you using Google Site Kit plugin?

    And alternatively please, check that PHP options ‘CURL support’ and ‘allow_url_fopen’ are enabled in your website or host PHP settings.

    I’m afraid I am not sure what to offer then. I did find a variety of topics in the forum on them, and the above questions are just the most likely queries. If I think of anything I will come back.
