A timeout means your server took too long to answer, usually because a plugin or script is too heavy for the hosting plan’s limits. We profile what runs on the slow requests, fix or replace the culprit, raise the limits where it is safe, and tell you plainly if the hosting itself is the problem.

## What you get

- Slow requests found in the logs
- Heavy plugin or script fixed
- PHP time and memory limits checked
- Cron and background jobs reviewed

## Estimate

Usually 1–2.5 hrs of developer time: about $129–$323 at $129 an hour. Booked as [developer hours](https://wpservices.com/services/wordpress-developer-hours.md); bigger blocks cost less per hour.
