What's going wrong
Many site owners report that after activating this captcha plugin, the WordPress Site Health screen shows critical errors. The reported causes are an active PHP session that is not closed, and REST API or loopback requests that time out. Owners see the block editor and scheduled tasks affected, and disabling the plugin clears the warnings. Several owners asked for the session handling to be fixed and some had IT staff trace it. Owners who run agencies or hosting need a way to confirm that such errors come from a specific plugin. A health checker that tests loopback and REST calls with each plugin disabled in turn would show the source and save time.
