 * Using WP 4.9.9 and Health Check 1.2.5. I have enjoyed this plugin many times 
   on many sites for collecting information and finding problems.
 * My problem: The “Site Status” works as expected (info below). But clicking “Debug
   Information” tab grinds away for 15-30 seconds, but then leaves an empty page.(
   The other tabs – Troubleshooting, PHP Information, and Tools show the expected
   content.)
 * Any idea what might cause this? What additional information could I provide to
   troubleshoot this? Many thanks.
 *     ```

 * **Update: **Two new items:
 * 1) It is working now (at least at the moment) without any explicit change on 
   my part
    2) This message appeared in error.log around the time I had the problem.
   If I’m reading it right, maybe it took a real long time for the scan to run, 
   and the host aborted the plugin?
 * (That would tie in with it working often/mostly… It’s on a temp host that I don’t
   use often, so I may not care…)

 * Hiya,
 * So the update with the error is what I expected was the reason for the failure,
   an execution timeout. I know the debug tab is a heavy task, collecting a fair
   amount of data, and is something we should probably investigate moving forward
   if there’s some ways to improve the performance there, I’ve created [https://github.com/WordPress/health-check/issues/249](https://github.com/WordPress/health-check/issues/249)
   to track this.

 * Thanks for getting back to me. I was also on an unreliable hosting service, so
   I have switched to a new server.
 * From the user standpoint, the blank page is scary. (“Yikes! Has my computer stopped?
   Is my site dead?”)
 * Maybe there’s a way to post a “Collecting a fair amount of data…” message initially,
   then update when the server has results? (That would leave the “collecting…” 
   message there to give a better support message.)
 * Best regards
 * Rich
