#51088: Site Health Status widget displays incorrect or inconsistent number of
issues

I have observed that the Site Health Status widget on the admin dashboard
sometimes displays an incorrect or inconsistent number of issues.
When I log into the dashboard (on several different WordPress sites), the
Site Health Status widget will often say "Take a look at the ''n'' items
on the Site Health screen" where ''n'' is typically 5 or even 6. When I
click on the Site Health screen and give it a moment or two to run, the
number of issues shown is usually no more than 1 or 2 (generally trivial
things, like not having a default theme). Once I've visited the Site
Health screen and given it time to load, the dashboard widget will
generally update to display that same number. However, if I don't, the
widget will continue to display the incorrect total.
My very tentative theory is that this might be a processing speed issue.
My sites use shared hosting, so they can be laggy. I wonder if perhaps
areason for this behavior could be that certain Site Health tests are not
completing within a specified interval and that is causing the widget to
list those tests as failed rather than incomplete. However, I don't know
enough about how the Site Health processes work to judge how likely that
may be.
