Comment (by Clorith):

 [attachment:"46734.patch"] starts to introduce actions for various tests.

 There are a few missing, and I'm not quite sure what resources they could
 link to that would make sense. Some have helpful texts, directing the user
 to contacting their web host (for example to update PHP, update SQL, or
 missing PHP libraries), while others are a bit more vague as to what
 resources should be used, for example:
 - Your site can perform loopback requests
 - Your site can communicate securely with other services
 - Scheduled events are running (or failing)

 These are just a few of the ones missing actions, there are more,
 especially if you consider potential failure states as well.

 I know what these mean, the short description following each will
 hopefully help users understand as well, but these are all things that the
 average user may find hard to troubleshoot, and in many cases end up being
 "Contact your host", which we of course have no direct way of linking to.

 So I guess the overarching question is, should we just omit actions in
 these cases, or should we (like I did for one of them) link to the
 WordPress support forums with a "get help" kind of text?
