Issue Google Pagespeed Insights: Timeout during DNS Search Execution - AFTER some changes to Apache

MakisD

New Pleskian
Good morning.
I have an issue with Google Pagespeed Insights after a change i had done to Apache.
I wanted to turn KeepAlive On - after suggestion of GTmetrics.

Reading that:
Virtual Host Configuration Files
and that:
Enable Keep-Alive | GTmetrix

i entered the field:
Apache & nginx Settings
and written the line: "KeepAlive ON" in both fields of
Additional Apache directives (Additional directives for HTTP & Additional directives for HTTPS).

The GTmetrix gave me a good score but Google Pagespeed Insights game me the message:
"Timeout during DNS Search Execution. Make sure the page is loading in a browser and try again."

The page is running normally but i have no access any more to Google Pagespeed Insights, not at the plugin, nor at the native page.

I tried to change the line "KeepAlive ON" in "KeepAlive OFF". Nothing changed.

I tried to follow this - witch seamed to me relevant to my problem:
Группы Google
adding the line: "HostnameLookups Off" at the same place. Nothing changed.

Finally i deleted both lines of both fields. The problem is still there.
Google Pagespeed Insights cant see my page giving the same message: "Timeout during DNS Search Execution. Make sure the page is loading in a browser and try again." - translation from Greek.

Can someone suggest me something? I fell that a website that can't be analyzed from Google is as it doesn't exist.
 
Hello,

you cannot change settings like KeepAlive or HostnameLookups from the Plesk interface. You have to edit them via ssh in :
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf on debian/ubuntu
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf on Centos
