 * I got the following errors in my site egtours.com when I check the health of 
   the WordPress site.
 * The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the
   server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display,
   and save, your posts and pages.
 * Error 1.
 * The REST API call gave the following unexpected result: (508) <!DOCTYPE HTML 
   PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE> 508 Resource Limit Is
   Reached</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Resource Limit Is Reached</H1> The website 
   is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. 
   Please try again later. </BODY></HTML> .
 * Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the 
   built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.
 * Error 2
 * The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 508, it was not
   possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcritical-errors-rest-api-loop-back-request-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Resource limit reached Error is pretty self-explanatory. Your website has reached
   the top of its allotted resources on the server. There are a number of reasons
   that this can happen. Try reviewing [https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wordpress/how-to-fix-the-http-508-error-codes](https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wordpress/how-to-fix-the-http-508-error-codes)

 * when I troubleshoot the site I got following notice
 * When switching the active theme to grandtour, a site failure occurred. Because
   of this we reverted the theme to the one you used previously.
 * When enabling the plugin, booked, a site failure occurred. Because of this the
   change was automatically reverted.
 * When enabling the plugin, seo-by-rank-math, a site failure occurred. Because 
   of this the change was automatically reverted.
