WP_Site_Health::get_test_loopback_requests()

Test if loopbacks work as expected.

Description

A loopback is when WordPress queries itself, for example to start a new WP_Cron instance, or when editing a plugin or theme. This has shown itself to be a recurring issue, as code can very easily break this interaction.

Return

(array) The test results.
