There now seems to be a Cloudflare check before exchange rates are given, causing a delay of 1 or 2 seconds.

Which means that FA is not getting exchange rates from exchange-rates.org.

Any ideas of a workaround for this?

EXCHANGE-RATES.ORG can also fetch historical rates

elseif ($provider == 'EXCHANGE-RATES.ORG')
    {
        if ($date != Today())
            $filename = "/exchange-rate-history/{$curr_b}-{$curr_a}-".date2sql($date);
        else
            $filename = "/converter/{$curr_b}-{$curr_a}";
        $site = "exchange-rates.org";
        $proto = 'https://';
        $contents=file_get_contents($proto.$site.$filename);

    
    }

Nice catch.

exchange-rates.org update

Since the end of January 2026 I have not been able to retrieve exchange rates from exchange-rates.org

It seems they've changed their URL.

This seems to fix it:

gl/includes/db/gl_db_rates.inc

line 168 change:

$filename = "/converter/{$curr_b}/{$curr_a}/1";

to:

$filename = "/converter/{$curr_b}-{$curr_a}";

Starting line 166 this section will be:

elseif ($provider == 'EXCHANGE-RATES.ORG')
    {
        //$filename = "/converter/{$curr_b}/{$curr_a}/1";
        $filename = "/converter/{$curr_b}-{$curr_a}";
        $site = "exchange-rates.org";
        $proto = 'https://';
        $contents=file_get_contents($proto.$site.$filename);
    }
