# 503 Server Error?

 * Hello, I’m running into an issue where whenever I try to customize my site with
   a Responsive template, I get a 503 error that says “The server is temporarily
   busy, try again later!”
 * The plugin tries to make a call against this URL:
 * {site URL}/wp-admin/customize.php?autofocus[section]=responsive_layout
 * It doesn’t matter where I try to customize the website from, I always get this
   503 error and I can’t seem to do anything. I can still add posts, media, images,
   and update the menu from other settings, but in terms of going directly into 
   the website and editing the custom home page, I am unable to do so.
 * Is there anything I can try to do? I updated the plugin to the latest version
   4.8.3.1, I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin but it does not 
   seem to do anything. I do not have any other plugins installed. It looks like
   the URL throwing the 503 points to customize.php, but I can’t find that anywhere
   in the theme files?
 * I should note that this was working fine until this past Saturday May 13th, EST.
   The day before I was editing and customizing the site without any issue, but 
   yesterday suddenly stopped working. I thought it was just blip, so I gave it 
   a day, but it still seems to not be working.

 * Hi [@diecastcollector](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diecastcollector/),
 * 503 status code (Service Unavailable) **typically indicates a performance issue
   on the origin server**. Could you please once contact your server support and
   explain this issue?
 * Best regards.
