    Hi Everyone,

    I have a wordpress site running with following configuration:

    Server
    AWS EC2
    Memory: 32G
    VCPUs: 8
    Daily visitors: About 4000 Visitors/day

    AWS RDS
    Mysql Server (Separate)
    Memory: 15G
    VCPUs: 4

    pm = dynamic
    pm.max_children = 750
    pm.start_servers = 400
    pm.min_spare_servers = 400
    pm.max_spare_servers = 600
    pm.process_idle_timeout = 10s;
    pm.max_requests = 500;

    I use custom wordpress posts with lot of custom fields. The issue is whenever I try to edit/add posts on my wordpress admin it keeps on loading
    and returns 504 header which results in slow front end as well. Can anyone please suggest the correct configuration for the php configuration for my site?

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Hello bishwadeep

    There can be a different reason for this to happen.

    1) If you are using a VPN service to browse the web, then try disabling it.

    2) If you are using a DNS level website firewall like Sucuri or Cloudflare, then try to temporarily disable the firewall. This will allow you to connect to your WordPress hosting server directly.

    3) If you are connected to the internet through a proxy server, then that server may be unable to get a response from your WordPress website. Try accessing your website using a different internet connection or use online services to see if your website is down just for you or everyone.

    4) If the DNS servers you are using are down or unable to connect to your website, then you could see a 504 gateway timeout error. The easiest way to check this is by changing the DNS servers your device is using.

    5) A corrupt WordPress database may also trigger a 504 gateway timeout error. Don’t worry, your WordPress data is most likely safe. However, your database may need a little a bit of spring cleaning. This can be easily done by optimizing your WordPress database using phpMyAdmin or using a plugin like WP-Sweep. Make sure you backup the WordPress database before performing any action.

    6) WordPress plugins and themes are less likely to cause a 504 gateway timeout error. However, if a plugin or theme is making too many requests to the server, then it is likely that some of these requests may drop off and trigger a 504 gateway timeout error.

    7) Is It .htaccess?

    Hope this info helps.

    Thanks.
