  For the past three days I’ve been getting two error messages: “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.” and “Oops! That page can’t be found. Nothing was found at this location. Try searching, or check out the links below.” My website host says the problem is not there. Last time I tried AI help here is said to dump cache. Been doing that for days. Sometimes if I log out and back in it clears it — for a short time. Any ideas?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can’t help as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform – https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/http://donnasgeneralstore.com. You must contact your hosting support.

  AI Chat on WordPress said they WERE the host and my host could not help (said I should dump Cache). My host says the problem is not with them. (Contacted them first.) They said “it looks like the site is hitting itself a lot, which might be causing the 503 errors.” Don’t know whose fault that is.
