WordPress experts, can you tell me what this means (and what I should do about it)?

When testing the REST API, an error was encountered:

REST API Endpoint: https://dangillmor.com/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit
REST API Response: (http_request_failed) cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

(Dashboard menu pages are horribly slow to load, and the site is anything but speedy as well.)

@dangillmor I explain it to students like this:

Could contact the server and it responded but could not find what I was looking for:
https://google.com/my_file_my_file_not_there.html

This url points to no server, so 0 response.

@dangillmor called a web service that did not respond... Just no answer. The service is down or non existent. Problems could range from a server down, software farts in some stack or even a bad url. Curl makes requests and receives files via http, much like you do with a web browser but between two programs.

@dangillmor Plugin update check.
WP update check.
Service restart.
If not solved, check configuration.
OS update check.
Server update check.
If not solved l, connection check.
Router firmware update check and friends and so on...
Hope this little checklist helps.

@dangillmor I would look at your security plugin first (if you have one - could be a firewall setting), disable it, clear the cache and see what happens. Then repeat this with all the other plugins one by one…

@dangillmor the only time I ever ran into that was due to a firewall plugin. You might check there
