[Resolved] SitevError Message on Homepage

[Dana Boone]

Hi. I’m getting this error on my homepage, https://epiphany365.com. Site is also loading very slow. Help!

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas01_data01/09/2222809/html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1525

Hmm, this most likely has something to do with your server specs and the fact that you’re loading so many posts on one page.

Can you test by decreasing the amount of posts per page in “Settings > Reading”?

Let me know 🙂

[DANA BOONE]

Thanks. Question. While I was awaiting your (quick) response, I disabled the plugins to see if that was the issue and reinstalled them one by one. (I hadn’t been able to view the site from the WP app). That functionality came back, but when I reinstalled GP Premium, it reverted back to not being able to see it and site slow.

What do you propose I do now?

Thanks.

I’m assuming it’s a combination of the image resizer, your server and the fact that it’s resizing so many images on the page.

Have you tried reducing the amount of posts showing up to see if it fixes the issue?

[DANA BOONE]

Yes. I did change the setting and activate GP Premium and things are loading fine. Typically, I have Blog Masonry on there but right now I’ve changed it to a static page. It’s a newsite, and if you have any other layout/etc. ideas to help me avoid this issue in the future, I’d love to hear it. Thanks again for your attention.

I believe it’s just an issue with your server not being able to handle the resizing script for so many images on one page.

I’ll see if I can cause the same issue on my side and will report back.

[Tom]

I can’t reproduce this, so I’m pretty sure it’s a server.

One thing you can try is increasing your PHP memory limit: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/increasing-memory-limit/

However, I really think you’re better off decreasing the amount of posts per page – it’s better for your server and for users in my opinion.
