      Hi Guys,

      Recently got into the issue when testing load speed of my website (https://solvid.co.uk). Occasionally, Google Speed Insights gives me a server connection error which states _"PageSpeed was unable to connect to the server. Ensure that you are using the correct protocol (_http vs https), the page loads in a browser, and is accessible on the public internet."

      Also, GTMetrix gives me an error as well, which states the following: "An error occurred fetching the page: HTTPS error: SSl connect attempt failed"

      All of my redirects seem to be set-up correctly as well as the SSL certificate. I've contacted my hosting provider (godaddy), they are saying that everything is fine with the server and the installation. Also, tried in different browsers in incognito mode, still gives me the same error.

      Until yesterday I haven't had such a problem. I've also attached the error screenshot links.

      I would really appreciate your help!

        Hi Dmytro,

        Your server cache is not set up correctly. You have the 1800s as when you're going to have your cache expire.

        Don't use GoDaddy's hosting

        If you want a fast, low-cost host  In the UK or the USA, https://pressidium.com is great and UK based.

        Check out http://reviewsignal.com/blog/2015/07/28/wordpress-hosting-performance-benchmarks-2015/

        For hosting in the UK.

        GetFlywheel.com Cost is $15 a month

        Pressidium is $24.90,

        WPengine $30 offers to host in England  &  you can get a coupon from WP beginner if you want half off for three months.

        If money is not an issue check out Pagely's VPS, Kinsta's VPS, & PressLabs

        A managed WordPress host will fix the numerous problems that you have on your site. I tried to use any system like redirect checker and various other tools and your site timed out. You can see the Pingdom test below

        http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/c3A3fx/https://www.solvid.co.uk

        http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/ipWQZ/https://solvid.co.uk

        Hope this helps,

        Tom
