How to resolve err_connection_timed_out in plesk?

An ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error typically means there is something wrong with your local network connection.

However, that’s not always the case.

When you visit a website and it doesn’t load, your browser will try for around 30 seconds or so until it terminates the connection.

After which it will return an “ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT” error, indicating a communication problem.

In Google Chrome you might see this as “This site can’t be reached. Domain.com took too long to respond.”
