 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/CKSU841L7/p1613606106014500 per-
 discussion] in #core-site-health. The intent of using `site_url` was to
 more closely mimic how a cron request works. So we need to find a way to
 keep this close to testing loopback for cron, but not error out on
 subdirectory installs.

 Per discussion with @peterwilsoncc, ( see above ), it looks like the best
 way to do this would be to make a `POST` request to `site_url( 'wp-
 cron.php' )`. Making this a `POST` request allows us to quickly exit out
 of Cron without triggering any cron jobs which might error out since cron
 would have just been executed when Site Health itself is loaded.
