Comment (by netweblogic):

 This issue causes multiple tests to fail in the site health interface if
 your theme or plugin starts a session. The following errors are triggered
 by curl timeouts:

 * The REST API encountered an error
 * Your site could not complete a loopback request
 * Background updates may not be working properly
  * Could not confirm that the wp_version_check() filter is available.

 By the following code:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action('init', function(){
         session_start();
 });
 }}}

 Thanks for reporting this @matthieumota

 I would say removing session data from the curl call is the most
 appropriate solution, given these tests that fail don't require sessions
 to pass/fail, whereas session data may still be needed in the original
 page load.
