Site is slow and gives me 500 Errors….

  • https://www.w124-zone.com

    The site does not load fast anymore. My content is building up, but I don’t understand why it is slowing down so much. Pages load slow….I get consistent 500 errors….I have to reload pages because they don’t load fully or just give me a blank white page.

    Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot or figure out whats going on?
    I’ve updated my WP to the latest version.

    I am hosting via godaddy so I don’t see it being a host issue. It has been progressively getting worse over the last 2 months.

    Thanks

    Have you tried:
    – repairing your database?
    – using a caching plugin?
    –In creasing the memory available to PHP?

    Also see if you have:

    -too many large images? Too many large images translate into more load!
    -too many plugins? Too many plugins translate into more load!

    I have a lot of images, but they are all 1024×768 and no bigger than like 400kb each…That cannot be the issue.

    I increased my memory available using that php code and installed a WP-Cache plugin.

    I don’t notice any difference and am still getting the 500 errors.

    I can’t seem to login to my phpmyadmin to repair the DB possibly. No idea why I’ll have to call godaddy in the AM.

    Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via FTP or SFTP and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP client to view invisible files.

    If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
