 * I’m working on a site redesign. Just upgraded to 5.1 and decided to run the Health
   check. I get these errors:
 * The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error encountered: (0) cURL error
   28: Operation timed out after 10003 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
 * The loopback request to your site failed, this may prevent WP_Cron from working,
   along with theme and plugin editors.
    Error encountered: (0) cURL error 28: Operation
   timed out after 10003 milliseconds with 0 bytes received.
 * I’ve been searching but haven’t found info on what I’m supposed to do to fix 
   them. Help? (I’m not a developer or coder..)
 * Thanks

 * Find out if the REST API has been disabled on this site by some plugin or snippet.
 * If not, then try discussing with the hosting provider.

 * I have same problem.
 * I have a site on siteground with same errors and other site without errors.
 * I have two sites on a local machine with similar configurations… One of this 
   sites show me this errors and another one, not.
 * The two sites have same plugins and themes.

 * Same errors noted in my WP Site Health:
 * “The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation
   timed out after 10002 milliseconds with 0 bytes received” …and… “The loopback
   request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently
   working as expected. Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10002
   milliseconds with 0 bytes received”
 * I tested with WP theme. There are 3 plugins that when deactivated, these error
   messages demote from “Critical Issues” to “Recommended Improvements”. But even
   with all plugins deactivated, the error messages remain.
 * Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

 * This eve, I added this plugin:
 * Health Check & Troubleshooting Version 1.3.2 by The WordPress.org community
 * It very nicely helps with testing for plugin and theme conflicts, without actually
   changing with your live site! With this, it indicated that when those 3 plugins
   were deactivated, both critical errors disappeared. But still no clues to solving
   the problem(s).
 * I submitted a support request to the paid plugin: WP-SpamSheild.
