"Not responding" probably indicates that your wiki is crashing or hanging. In my experience, this could be on the server/infrastructure side (server down, CPU/RAM too high, some strange firewall rule) or on the software side (recent changes in the code, some update or plugin). Try to test the wiki on another computer or another network. Can you pinpoint to a single page? Maybe there's some page causing the crash. If all users can access your website except for the wiki pages, then it's related to the wiki engine or its underlying database. Finally, look at the server logs for some clues and see if you can narrow down the period when your users experienced the error. It's most probably a server overload or a nasty bug in the wiki code. Clearing the cache might also help.

If you get the “not responding” error, it could be due to server problems or faulty code. Start by checking your server; if that’s working, then the problem lies somewhere in the code. Ensure your site is well-written, isn’t too large, isn’t being overloaded, and doesn’t have plugin or script conflicts. Keep up with regular updates. Otherwise, consult a professional web developer to help diagnose and solve the problem.

“Wiki: not responding”: This generally indicates an issue with either the server or the code. Is the server running and performing well? Can you ping the site using other machines? If there are no problems with the server, try looking at the code – badly-written scripts or database queries can cause freezes. Are others also seeing this issue reliably? If it comes and goes, maybe there’s an issue on their side. Let us know!

The “not responding” error message indicates that either your server is overloaded, or your script has a bug that is causing an infinite loop somewhere. First look at your server log files for any messages indicating errors. If the script runs fine on your machine, then you have a performance issue, and need to tweak your script or change your hosting provider. Several other wiki administrators reported that they experience the same problem when installing updates or running with lots of visitors. Monitor your server resource usage, and check your own code if you have recently changed anything.
