 * Ok, digging into this, I found out why my server was getting random TIMEOUT when
   talking to the WordPress API, or any API for that matter.
 * My DNS server, for reasons I do not know, decided to stop answering DNS lookups,
   and so every time a request from php was occurring, it went through a timeout
   trying to lookup the target host, before falling back to the secondary. (Default
   is 3 seconds in WordPress)
 * This aded enough for to make MOST requests time out.
 * Be warned. Check your DNS lookups if you have random timeouts hitting APIs. It
   may also indicate a longer timeout, over 3 seconds should be in use.

 * I also have this problem. The strange thing is that it only happens on my server
   for a specific website. I have numerous self-hosted WordPress websites, and they
   are all fine.
 * I also tried dropping back to a default theme. didn’t help.
 * I have few plugins enabled. I wouldn’t expect them to cause any issues.
 * Is there a way to log all the curl/requests happening? Whats the best way to 
   debug this issue?
 * (I am a reasonable newbiee, I code a bit, but never wordpress/php. Only enough
   to hack a plugin I use on my website.)
