 * Before WordPress sends out the resulting page, a lot of things happen in the 
   background, inside the server. And something seems to stop the server from fulfilling
   the request from the visitor.
 * In this case, there’s a good chance to find the problem by activating debug mode
   in WordPress.
 * Connect to your server via ftp and download the file `wp-config.php` find the
   row:
    `define('WP_DEBUG', false);` and change `false` to `true`. Now, upload 
   the file back to the server and try again to load the page. Most probably, you’ll
   see some error (and possibly some warnings, too). The error information may point
   direct at the root problem, or may be a side-effect, but it’s usually a very 
   good clue about what needs to be fixed.
 * Don’t forget to turn off debugging when you’re done. Occasional warnings may 
   offset the design of the received pages or might fire before the server has started
   the output, breaking the possibility to correctly form the http response header.
 * If the exercise above doesn’t help, you may try:
    - Temporarily changing to a standard theme, like twenty seventeen. Do this by
      making sure that twentyseventeen is present in the folder wp-content/themes
      and renaming the folder of your current theme.
    - Disabling one or several plugins until you find the issue. Since your website
      doesn’t load correctly, this can be done by temporarily renaming the folder
      name of each plugin via ftp. (You might add “-renamed” to the plugin folder
      name, for instance, and then try to load the web site again in your browser.)
      Once you get in to your site again: rename back those plugins that work, and
      activate them again in the admin area.
 * (If you’re lucky to have deeper access to your web server, some of these tasks
   may be easier accomplished via wp-cli, but in shared hosting, this is usually
   not the case.)
 * Let me know how you get along.

 * Try switching to Twenty Seventeen theme to see if you can view the content, if
   you can, you may have a theme that has compatibility issues.
 * If you still can’t view the content, you can try disabling all plugins and activating
   them one at a time to see if there is an obvious culprit in your plugins.
