Test failed: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate Report this error to your provider saying the site cannot make an HTTP call to its wp-cron.php file and copying the error message above

Researching about this, I was told that it’s a CA_Bundle error, which is the hosting side CA_Bundle does not communicate with the CA_Bundle on the SSL uploaded certificate.

OR either;

The hosting side CA_Bundle is not properly configured.

It has affected my website not to send email, notifications, and the response is what I used as the TOPIC.
The cron jobs have stopped working, the job post isn’t functioning, the scheduler isn’t funtioning.

Lets discuss and see if we can work on that…

The cron jobs on PFH are disabled and cannot be enabled. You cannot access any files on PFH via cURL because of security system in place which prevents programamatic access to make sure that our servers are used only accessible via browsers.

Although by defauly, wordpress crons are triggered only page loads and are not scheduled. If you have not changed any cron settins, your wordpress crons should be loading fine.

Oh okay, meaning “DISABLE_WP_CRON” in wp_config.php should be set to false.
I learnt that when page load triggers crons, it slows down the page loading, what about that?

Cron by default doesn’t make wordpress slower unless it is heavily modified. You can prevent potential speed issues by adopting general wordpress optimization standards like using less/no plugins and leveraging browser based caches.
