Wordpress EC2 instance stops working regularly

Question

I have configured my wordpress website with EC2 instance but it happened several times that the website stops working and shows me the error of "504 Gateway Time-out"

Then i restart the instance and it starts working again, why it is happening repeatedly?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

What EC2 instance type are you using?  
For example, in the case of T-based instance types such as T2.micro, once the CPU burst credits are used up, the performance will drop to the baseline throughput, so this may be related.

Please also check the EC2 load status and system logs.
