The reason for that is, as the name suggests, on shared hosting all the resources are shared among all the clients at the same time. In a similar case, if you are using a shared hosting plan, it is enough for only one or two of the websites hosted on the shared server to hit peak traffic to slow down every single website running on that server. This causes slow web performance leading to timing out on responses. If you are using a weak device or server for hosting your WordPress website, your server might run out of resources to answer requests in time, especially in peak traffic. However, it is possible that there is actually a problem on the server’s side. Improper proxy settings, which basically block the request from reaching the server, therefore not receiving an answer.Browser compatibility issues, once again causing miscommunication and timing out on a response.Poor internet connection on the user’s side, leading to miscommunication and therefore not receiving an answer.Some of the most common causes for this error are connectivity problems: Simply put, means that a request was sent to your website, but the time ran out of waiting for a response.

As you may know, an error may happen anywhere along with the connection, in the user’s browser, in their internet connection, anywhere on the way between, or at your server.
