The ” Connection Timed Out” is caused due to the high traffic in the website which overburdens the server.
The error can be commonly caused due to 4 reasons and It can be easily fixed.
a) A Faulty WordPress Theme – A Faulty Theme can cause the error. You can easily fix it by changing it back to default WordPress theme. For this, you can go to theme folder where the current theme folder should be renamed to activate the default theme.
b) Plugin Incompatibility – A Faulty Plugin can cause the error. You can easily resolve the error by deactivating all plugins and reactivating it one by one until you find out the faulty plugin. Then you can deactivate the faulty plugin.
c) Lower Maximum Execution Time – A Lower Maximum Execution time value can cause the error. This is because the Process cease before it’s completely. This can be easily fixed by editing the file php.ini by making the following change :-
max_execution_time=60;
Now the default value will be 30 seconds and the error is fixed.
d) Lack of Adequate Memory – Exhausted PHP Memory Limit can cause the error. We can easily fix this by increasing the limit of available memory. To do that wp-config.php file should be edited.
For Editing, Open the file in the root folder of the website.
Add the following:-
define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ )
Then Save the file.
Now the memory is Increased to 64 MB.
We can also increase the PHP limits in the PHP Configuration files when required as well.
Thus the error is fixed.
