Error 524: a timeout occurred in Cloudflare and how to resolve it

Cloudflare accelerates appearanceA 524 error indicates that Cloudflare successfully connected to the origin server, but the origin site Web server did not provide an HTTP response before the default 100-second connection timeout ended (Enterprise customers can extend the 524 timeout to a maximum of 600 seconds).

The CDN node can connect to the origin server, but the origin server took too long to respond to the request, causing a timeout, which then displays an Error 524 error. This situation is generally caused by too many source server tasks. For example, the workload of PHP response or database query tasks is high, and it will be normal until the source server is running normally.

Error 524 solution

Error 524 is generally caused by the source server's response timeout. The source server processes too many tasks, such as PHP responses or database queries. Check the running status of the source server, and wait until the server finishes processing it, it will be normal.

Of course, if Error 524 errors are too frequent, it is recommended to upgrade the origin server configuration and optimize the website program.
