  Team,

  I’ve had SEO companies run tests on my site loading, and they’ve found that we consistently run into 503 errors. Almost to the tune of 50/50 on page loads. I have a screenshot that says the specific error ‘Service Unavailable

  The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.’

  Can you please help me understand what the problem is and what we can do to fix it?

  Thanks.

  We can’t help you as your site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform but is hosted elsewhere and uses the open source wordpress.org.
  Regarding the server problems, you must contact your hosting. For further help, you have the documentation and forum at https://wordpress.org/
