Significant Slow Load Times and "504 Gateway Timeout" Errors on Version 3.5.2

[fm_ammy]

Hello,

For the past few weeks, I've noticed that my website, which is running on version 3.5.2, has been experiencing significantly slower load times. Users have reported that pages take too long to load, and sometimes they receive a "504 Gateway Timeout" error.

I've checked my server resources and everything seems normal. I also optimized my images and cleared the cache, but the problem persists. When I test the site using different network connections, the slow load times and errors still occur.

Could anyone provide some insights on what might be causing these performance issues and how to resolve them?

Hi,
Inspect server logs (Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM) for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with the server configuration or application.

Sometimes we need to ensure that caching is properly configured and working. Misconfigured caching can lead to increased load times.
Consider using full-page caching solutions like Varnish or Redis.
you could also use performance monitoring tools like New Relic, Datadog, or Pingdom to get detailed insights into where the bottlenecks are occurring.
