    Your version of PHP (7.0.33) requires an update
    Security

    The REST API encountered an error
    Performance

    Your site could not complete a loopback request
    Performance

    Could you please help me to fix these critical issues?

    The PHP 7.0 branch was discontinued over a year ago: https://www.php.net/eol.php

    You can upgrade your PHP through your hosting provider’s control panel. We recommend PHP 7.3 or higher.

    As for the REST API error, what is full error reported for that?

    I get the REST API and Loopback request responses as well.

    Both due to
    “Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received”

    Now, I do use Curl in my own scripts elsewhere to read RSS feeds and the like and it works fine. So, whatever method WordPress is using, my webhost’s config must not agree with it and blocks it. Since everything seems to work fine I’ve just ignored it. I’d have to dig into the Site Health’s code to figure what it’s actually trying to do.
