# Page Load Problems-404 Error Sometimes

 * I am having problems with my pages loading…sometimes. It’s been happening for
   every install of WP since 2.3 probably.
 * I’ll try to describe it to the best of my ability.
 * My main page [http://www.rvoodoo.com](http://www.rvoodoo.com) always seems to
   load fine
 * When another page is clicked, sometimes it comes up, and sometimes I get my 404
   error. When the page loads fine, it does so quickly. But sometimes there are 
   long load times and then I get the 404 error. When I get the 404 error, it seems
   nothing is really loading. I can see my theme and all, but in the sidebar, no
   info is loaded. As in no categories show up, no latest post, no nothing. I just
   have no content. This doesn’t just happen to sub-pages, because sometimes it 
   happens if I’m on another page and click on ‘HOME’. It’s really quite annoying,
   any ideas where I can look for the problem?

 * ahhhh..I forgot to finish my thought…
 * Anyway, I don’t always get the 404 error as I stated above. I also get my Content
   not Found page. That seems to be random.
 * And finally, and I’m not sure if this is related, usually when I log into my 
   WP, I go directly to my User Profile page and not the Dashboard area.

 * I’ve also been getting something similar, also since back around 2.3. For example
   yesterday I went through my log files and pulled out every time a 404 error was
   issued back to a request. There were a few valid 404’s in there, but there were
   also quite a few requests for WP posts that ARE valid URLs, that the client was
   issued a 404 for.
 * It doesn’t happen very often, say five out of every 50,000 page views, but it
   DOES happen. I host about 25 other (non-WP) websites on the same server and I
   don’t see it happening on those sites, so it doesn’t appear to be a server config/
   Apache error.
 * How I noticed it was that WP had given my friend Googlebot a 404 for my homepage.
   Yikes! That isn’t good. Googlebot came back a few hours later and fetched the
   page fine.

 * Was in the hospital for 6 months….finally back to doin what I do,….
 * Anyway, the problem was the Events Calendar plugin, deactivated it and all is
   well, plus my load times have gotten MUCH better
