How important to install Google Site Kit for a WordPress owner?

Regarding how important this issue is, I believe that Google has a lot of blogs about its importance and necessity, and even every explanation.
I won’t pile it up here. Although I think which words to pile up are beneficial to SEO, I am not an in-depth expert in this area, so I won’t go into details.
Let me just say one thing: looking at data curve patterns and keywords every day is simpler and more straightforward than spending a lot of money on other plug-ins.

How to fix this common error, google can not access WordPress Rest API

I have run WordPress many years, and I have encountered this problem many times, and every time I went to Google to check it, I basically found nothing. They said it was solved, but in the end there was no good explanation on how to solve it.

Indeed, Google has been relatively lazy about this problem and seems to have no intention of solving it.
There are probably two solutions.

One is to reinstall all programs, and the other is to disable all plug-ins in the background one by one, and then see which plug-in conflicts.
Some netizens even tested OK in the staging environment, but failed in the production environment.

Today I encountered it again and again, and there are many plug-ins running in my wordpress background, and it is impossible to forcibly ban them. I took a risk today and it worked.

Resolve Detail Step by Step

Step 1. The first step is to click plugin and find the plugin named “Disable REST API”.

Step 2. The second step is to install and activate.

Step 3. The third step is to set up as shown in the picture. Two important points, both set correctly.

Step 4: Reinstall Google Site Kit successfully. Good luck to you too. I won’t post the picture so that you don’t all see it, haha.

Final, If you have any idea, please share with me. I’ll try my best.

Please share this, thank you.
