Comment (by andrewhoyer):

 This is an improvement on the current text, although I have a few
 concerns:

 1. The Site Health screen is easy to ignore. At the least, this needs to
 be a "Critical" issue so it gets a badge and shows up near the top of the
 list. Furthermore, you can remove the Site Health widget from the
 dashboard.

 2. The admin notice option is nice, but my concern with it is that that
 space is often filled with plugin notices, sometimes many of them and
 deep. People tend to tune this space out. If you close that notice, I
 guess it would come back after a while? So it might be persistent enough.
 The downside is that it creates a new space for content rather than using
 existing space, like the admin bar, or the dashboard widgets (again, they
 can be removed).

 > I have tried a rough implementation, including the information in the
 Site Health screen, and also issued an admin notice so that it doesn't go
 unnoticed.
