Website not reachable

WordPress no longer loads

An inaccessible WordPress site can be caused by a faulty update, an incompatible extension, a server problem or malicious code. The visible error alone does not allow for a reliable attribution.

I check the available server logs and the installation, fix the identified cause and then verify accessibility.

Common error patterns

The displayed message helps narrow down the investigation. The specific cause is determined from logs and configuration.

Completely white page

PHP processing was aborted while error output in the browser is disabled. Additional details may be available in the server log.

Error 500

The server cannot process the request. Possible causes include faulty rules, incompatible extensions or damaged code.

Database connection error

WordPress cannot reach the database. Credentials, the database server and the configuration are checked.

Hoster's block page

The hoster has restricted access and usually states the reason as well as the requirements for unblocking in its message.

How I identify and fix the cause

1

Check logs

I analyze the available error and server logs. They often contain clues about the triggering file or component.

2

Narrow down the error

Plugins, the theme and the configuration are checked specifically. If necessary, individual components are temporarily deactivated via server access.

3

Restore operation

I fix the identified technical cause and check accessibility as well as important functions. If an infection is confirmed, the complete cleanup is carried out.

Frequently asked questions

Can a white page indicate an attack?

A white page can also occur after an update, due to a plugin conflict or because server resources have been exhausted. The error logs and the inspection of the installation show whether malicious code is involved.

Yes. Troubleshooting primarily requires server access and, if applicable, database access. WordPress access can be restored via the database if necessary.

For a purely technical cause, I charge for the work as agreed and state the cost range before starting. If an infection is found, the fixed price of 280 € net applies to the cleanup.

I will get back to you within 4 hours. Technical restorations are often possible on the same business day; the exact effort depends on the cause and the available access.
