What to do about these ???

A scheduled event has failed Performance

The scheduled event, googlesitekit_cron_update_remote_features, failed to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.

The REST API encountered an unexpected result Performance

The REST API is one way that WordPress and other applications communicate with the server. For example, the block editor screen relies on the REST API to display and save your posts and pages.

When testing the REST API, an unexpected result was returned:

REST API Endpoint: https://martinkknives.com/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit
REST API Response: (403) Forbidden

You should use a persistent object cache Performance

A persistent object cache makes your site’s database more efficient, resulting in faster load times because WordPress can retrieve your site’s content and settings much more quickly.

Your hosting provider can tell you if a persistent object cache can be enabled on your site. Your host appears to support the following object caching services: APCu.

also this Your site could not complete a loopback request Performance

Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.

The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 403, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.

Unable to detect the presence of page cache Performance

Unable to detect page cache due to possible loopback request problem. Please verify that the loopback request test is passing. Error: Forbidden (Code: http_403)

Page cache enhances the speed and performance of your site by saving and serving static pages instead of calling for a page every time a user visits.

Page cache is detected by looking for an active page cache plugin as well as making three requests to the homepage and looking for one or more of the following HTTP client caching response headers:

cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag, x-cache-enabled, x-cache-disabled, x-srcache-store-status, x-srcache-fetch-status.

I replied to a very similar post a few days ago:

Elementor- Rest API Error

That’s normal, and a result of this security system: If you’re already paying for Elementor Pro, I strongly recommend getting some paid hosting for it too. Elementor is a big complex system which is already quite heavy for free hosting. So paying $5-10 per month for a site builder but spending $0 on hosting is like getting a sports car and putting wooden wheels under it: maybe it will work, but you’ll never be able to use the full potential.

Also, this error is even documented in our knowledge base:

Did you read these already and see if they answer your questions?

Hi, welcome to the forum @ferkofurik. Admin already responded to your issue so I removed my previous post. Sorry for any confusion.

I have the same issue regarding the REST api error, but I don’t understand… does infinityfree simply not support the REST API?

Please check the article mentioned above by Admin:

@Admin

The REST API encountered an unexpected result

Please see the section “Your site could not complete a loopback request”, the same issue prevents WordPress from interacting with its own REST API.

The relevant section:

@Admin

Your site could not complete a loopback request

Some plugins and themes will try to connect back to your website like a visitor, often to scan the content of your website to check for things like configuration issues.

This does not work on InfinityFree. Websites on InfinityFree use a security system that blocks automated access to websites hosted here. This also affects WordPress trying to access it’s own website. Connections like that may result in a 403 Forbidden response, or receiving the HTML code for the security challenge.

I’ve read that but I don’t quite understand it…
So basically I have to use CloudFlare to bypass the security measures?
And how do I set it up…?

Sorry if I sound annoying but I’m new to hosting websites and don’t understand everything yet

@ArthereX

So basically I have to use CloudFlare to bypass the security measures?

Last time I checked, this didn’t help, because Cloudflare only solves the issue for external systems trying to interact with the API, not internal requests.

However, some things have changes internally that may make this no longer hold true. So it may be worth a shot.

@ArthereX

And how do I set it up…?

Like so:
