Since the last update where we had to also update the version of PHP to v7.6.3, we have been experiencing slowdowns in the site. The admin sent me this.
"From the case details, I understand that you were experiencing issues with the server. Upon investigation, I found that the server load was high due to a high PHP-FPM request for the website. When the limit is hit, the new requests would not be served and would need to wait for existing requests to be completed which would be considered as downtime.
This can be fixed by typically making a change to the php-fpm.conf file, but you should also check for the other possible causes of that error. The typical causes of this error include:
High traffic (concurrent visitors)
Bad scripts or code that leads to slow execution of PHP code
Low settings for the max_children setting in the PHP-FPM Config"
They changed the max_children from 5 to 10, but it's still happening intermittently. Any other thoughts?
