 * Dear Community:
 * I have been getting this error quite freuently when I try to load certain pages
   or try to edit pages, or try to upload a theme template for example. And sometimes
   its fine.
 * Here is the error:
    Gateway Timeout
 * The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.
 * I contacted my host and they said its a database issue and cannot help, the theme
   support guys also said the same thing.
 * The site is [http://www.stressebook.com](http://www.stressebook.com)
 * I already installed WP-Optimize and my website host is sitergound.
 * I hope to get some answers here on how I can eliminate this error. When this 
   happens, it takes a long time and then pops the error.

 * Hey Daniel, [@danielkanchev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielkanchev/)
 * I am hoping you can help me out with the same timeout error message. See below.
 * Over the past three weeks I have run into the following error message when clicking
   on my dashboard links (plugins, pages) in my WordPress site, bodywearformen.com:
 * 504 Gateway Timeout Gateway Timeout The gateway did not receive a timely response
   from the upstream server or application.
 * I reached out to Siteground (ticket #2190283) who completed a scan, noticed that
   the w3 total cache plugin was constantly trying to load information over and 
   over, so they deactivated the plugin and removed its configuration. That did 
   not fix the problem. They recommended that I install their plug in, SG Optimizer,
   but even that continues to time out when I try to install it. I basically cannot
   do anything in my site now without this error message, please advise on how to
   fix this problem. 
 * Hope you can help me get this resolved.

 * Same issue also for me:
 * 504 Gateway Timeout
 * The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.
 * Hosting Siteground.. Im 99% sure that this is server related issue.
