  I turned off Scheduled jobs, but no effect.
  now, i've got a message :
  The CiviCRM public extensions directory at [https://civicrm.org/extdir/ver=5.47.2|cms=WordPress](https://civicrm.org/extdir/ver=5.47.2%7Ccms=WordPress) could not be contacted - please check your webserver can make external HTTP requests. Contact your site administrator for assistance.
  
  In civicrm.settings.php i uncommented // $civicrm\_setting['domain']['ext\_repo\_url'] = false;
  and the access is immediate. So the problem is the extensions.
  
  I work behind a proxy server, so there must be a connection problem to reach the external extensions.
  I found in

  define('CIVICRM\_CXN\_VIA', 'proxy\_address:PORT');
  
  a way to indicate a proxy to civicrm but it didn't work.
  Any clue for another way to fix proxy with Civicrm ?
