When there’s a 500 internal server error on your website, your focus goes to one thing only: How do you get your website back online as quickly as possible? Every minute – second, even – that your site is down is time that you’re losing traffic and sales. Plus, it’s not a good look for your brand, whether you run a huge company or you’re a solopreneur.
Also, a 500 internal server error that affects your site for several hours (or that happens often) can have a negative impact on your SEO rank. A site that goes down for just a few minutes may not even be recognized by Google as being offline – no problem there. However, a site that’s down for several hours tells Google that there’s a major problem that has to be taken care of, which could hurt your ranking.
Obviously, everyone wants to avoid the 500 internal server error, and when it does strike, to fix it as quickly as possible. This article should help!
