Comment (by Clorith):

 Hiya, welcome to WordPress trac, and my apologies for the delayed
 response.

 We could absolutely improve the text used for that test, to make it a bit
 more descriptive, and not directly blame plugins like it currently does
 (there are many reasons it could fail, as you've mentioned).

 I think that this specific scenario is a bit of an edge case, so I'm not
 sure if adding buttons and asking users to look for words is the right way
 forward.

 As for making the request be a plain ajax call, there's actually a two-
 fold reason this hasn't been done.

 Due to how the update filter is added, it does not exist within a call to
 `admin-ajax.php`, and leaving it open to a plain request without going via
 there leaves it open to unintended information sharing about a potential
 security issue on a site.

 Do you have any suggestions for improving the texts used here to make it
 bore clear that this may not always be a problem ?
