# Critical Timeout Fix Summary

## 🚨 Problem
You were getting this error:
```
Warning: file_get_contents(...): Failed to open stream: Connection timed out 
in /home/fastpay.us.cc/public_html/database/function.php on line 28
```
This was causing your pages to **hang indefinitely** (keep spinning) because it was waiting for an external API (`smartupi.in.net`) that was slow or down.

## ✅ Solution Implemented

### File: `database/function.php`

**Before (Blocking):**
```php
$response = file_get_contents($apiUrl); 
// If API is down, this waits 60+ seconds!
// Result: Page hangs, user sees spinner forever.
```

**After (Non-Blocking):**
```php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); // Max wait 3 seconds
// ...
// If API is down, it fails fast (3s) and page loads normally with "N/A" data.
```

## 🚀 How to Apply

1. **Upload Modified File:**
   - Upload `database/function.php` to your server.

2. **Verify:**
   - Refresh the page that was getting stuck.
   - It should now load instantly (or within 3 seconds max).
