HTTP API (remote requests)

Use this file when profiling shows slow external requests (wp_remote_get, etc.).

Fix patterns:

• Add timeouts and fail-fast behavior.
• Cache responses where appropriate (transients/object cache).
• Batch requests and avoid calling remote APIs on every page load.
• Move heavy remote work to async (cron/queue) where possible.

Tooling:

• Query Monitor can report HTTP API calls (including timing) via REST envelope info.
