503 Service Unavailable

The server is reachable and answering, but is temporarily unable to serve the request — overloaded, or in maintenance mode.

What causes it

A traffic spike beyond capacity.
Maintenance mode left switched on after an update.
A backend pool with no healthy members.
Resource limits on shared hosting.

If you are the visitor

Wait a few minutes and retry — this is at the site's end, not yours.

If it is your website

Return 503 with a Retry-After header during planned maintenance so search engines return rather than de-index.
Check whether a maintenance flag has been left in place.
Look at load, worker counts and process limits.
