Hi Elias,
Thank you for the details.
The error you are seeing (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT) indicates that the server is not responding in time, which is typically caused by a hosting or server-level issue, not by Joomla notifications.
Since the website works sometimes and fails at other times, this strongly suggests:
• Server resource limits being reached (CPU / memory)
• Temporary hosting throttling
• PHP or MySQL process crashes
• Firewall or security rules blocking requests
• Shared hosting instability
As you are using Bluehost (shared hosting), this behavior is unfortunately common when resource limits are exceeded.
Recommended next steps
- Check server error logs in Bluehost (especially around the time of the outage)
- Review CPU and memory usage
- Temporarily disable heavy extensions and test
- Ask Bluehost support specifically about:
• Resource limits
• Timeouts
• Server throttling
- If the issue continues, consider upgrading hosting or moving to a VPS
Once the server is stable, we can recheck Joomla and extensions, but based on the symptoms, this is not caused by Joomla itself.
Please let me know what Bluehost support reports.
