 * Hello,
 * Today I started getting ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when trying to go to my WP site. This
   is happening with different browsers (Safari’s message looks different, of course:“
   cannot open the page because the network connection was lost”), on different 
   devices (computer vs phone, incognito vs regular), and with different internet
   connections (wifi vs mobile LTE). I have not changed anything since updating 
   Akismet and Wordfence Security plugins on Monday. I am hosting with a small European
   host that I have used for the past 15 years. Other non-WP pages on my site work
   just fine.
 * I have read other threads stating that I should deactivate all of the plugins
   and try again, but I can’t even get to the admin page (ie, no WP page works).
 * This happened earlier this afternoon and finally loaded after multiple attempts,
   but now it won’t load at all.
 * This is particularly troubling, as I made WP the main page of my website in mid-
   March, so visits to the top domain die now.
 * Any thoughts or recommendations?
 * Thank you,
    rg.

 * Try after deactivating both plugins.
 * Since you have no access to admin, you can disable them using the following steps.
 * 1: Login to root directory of the website through FTP.
    2: Then under wp-content
   directory you can see plugins directory. 3. Enter in to plugins directory. 4.
   Rename akismet to akismet.bak and wordfence to wordfence.bak.
