Add server health check for missing PHP curl extension#261
Merged
Conversation
Show a warning notice on the settings page when the PHP curl extension is not installed, and a success notice with version info when it is. The curl extension is critical for performance — without it, WordPress falls back to PHP streams, adding ~5s per outbound HTTP request. Server info is only exposed to admin users to avoid leaking details. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
server_info(PHP version, curl availability/version) to the settings API response for admin users onlyContext
We spent hours debugging why na-wt.org's events page took ~33s to load. The root cause was PHP 8.4-FPM missing the curl extension — WordPress fell back to PHP streams for outbound HTTP requests, adding ~5s per call. This was invisible to the admin.
