Resolve Overloading Issues on My Wordpress Server and Website

Job ID: 39262718

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

My website, a blog/informational site, has been encountering significant issues lately while hosted on a basic Hostgator Baby shared server. It has started to overload, resulting in 504 errors and "too many redirects" errors. The site was functioning smoothly for several months prior to these problems.

- I have not made any recent changes to the website. This includes the installation of new plugins or themes, as well as updates to existing software.
- I am unsure about the status of scheduled tasks or cron jobs on the server. I have not set up anything recently that I am aware of.

I need a professional to diagnose the root cause of this overloading issue and provide solutions to prevent it from recurring in the future. Ideal candidates for this project should have a solid understanding of shared server management, error diagnostics, and website optimization, with a specific focus on blog or informational sites.
