wpultimio.com is down, causing all my sub sites to crawl

[ad_1]

If you, like me have woken up to all your wpultimo wordpress multisites running super super slow, then keep reading as I’ve got a fix for you.

[wpultimo.com](http://wpultimo.com) is currently down, as is a few associated sites.

Upon further digging, it appears the wp-ultimo wordpress plugin is constantly trying to reach [wpultimo.com](http://wpultimo.com) and this is causing a huge slowdown of the plugin (Definitely something for the developers to fix ASAP)

**The Solution?**

I needed to get my sites up and running ASAP, so the best solution I’ve found so far is to temporarily add the following to your wp-config file.

`define( ‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true );`

This fixed it in an instant.

Feel free to add any other suggestions or fixes to get things up and running.

Hope this helps.
