Thanks for pointing this out but you need to clarify in red letters that the Dev environment does not behave the same as Prod or there is an imposed 5 second timeout.

I ready this weeks ago. I just assumed in the Dev environment that my "slow remote server" was fine. I didn't get any timeouts so why would i think otherwise! Also, please consider adding additional documentation that a localhost development environment may be insufficient to adequately test and certify an application. Please take this as positive feedback. I just want to help the next developer and clarify this issue. Any thoughts or suggestions from the questions I pointed out before? Thanks!
