Title: HTTP Error 500.0 – Internal Server Error Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # HTTP Error 500.0 – Internal Server Error * [SCO7TY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sco7ty/) * (@sco7ty) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/) * Hi guys, hope you’re all well… * I noticed last week i kept getting this error. I have just recently set up an account with adsense and they declined my application because they could not get on my website. * I’ve researched this error a little, and it seems that when most people get this error, they cant get on their site at all, I only get the error sometimes and a refresh or two gets the page back up. * I read that it may be a plugin, but if it was, why would my site work sometimes and sometimes not? * This morning my first visit to the site gave me the error, i then refreshed, and then navigated to several pages with no problem….Strange. * Any help is appreciated thanks. * Screenshot – [http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/277/67174927.jpg](http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/277/67174927.jpg) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [Denis Ciumbargi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciumbargi/) * (@ciumbargi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409252) * Page not found proplem on my website after 3.5.1 update…. * Thread Starter [SCO7TY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sco7ty/) * (@sco7ty) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409267) * I was getting my error before the 3.5.1 update… * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409268) * Try checking your site’s error logs for a more specific error message.

The database is not an issue because you still have a lot of free space. Based on the error message, it was going beyond the limitation of CGI process which triggered the error._ * Please optimise your scripts and any processes running in your account. You can also refer it to your developer and this will help reduce the chance of getting error message and slow access. * Intermittent and slow access is normally caused by the scripts used to run the site. If you site is running through CMS (Content Management System) like WordPress, it is really important to have it optimised. * This doesnt make much sense to me (i’m still learning) * Can anyone put this in more simple terms for me? Give me some options to help sort out this problem? * Thanks in advance.. * Thread Starter [SCO7TY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sco7ty/) * (@sco7ty) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409338) * I have disabled most of my plugins, optimised databases and still get the error. * Really considering transferring to a different host now. * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409342) * > If you site is running through CMS (Content Management System) like WordPress, > it is really important to have it optimised. * is a typical “excuse” from a bad host.

I dont have loads of content media wise, but would storing my theme files etc make a great difference to loading speed? * [robertdean09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertdean09/) * (@robertdean09) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409364) * using a cdn really helps in terms of site loading speed .It loads like blazing fast . Cloudflare is a free cdn but some people report that using it deranks in google . So first search about it and then proceed . If you have inorganic traffic its best to use CDN . * Thread Starter [SCO7TY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sco7ty/) * (@sco7ty) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-5000-internal-server-error/#post-3409365) * I get a bit of inorganic traffic via social media but i dont use PPC or anything. * I’ve had a look at Cloudflare, which is an option. * Have you heard much about Rackspace?
