Budget: 1000 UAH Deadline: 3 days
504 with the processor at 25% and 60 free gigs of RAM is a classic sign that the issue is not hardware, but PHP-FPM: FASTPANEL usually leaves the default pm.max_children, and at 64 GB they are significantly underestimated. Heavy requests queue up in the workers, nginx doesn't wait for a response and returns 504.
33,000 products plus a regional structure mean expensive queries in MySQL. One admin query can hang for 30-60 seconds, occupying a worker. A few of these in parallel, plus bots on top - and the queue is clogged, even though the processor is almost idle. The feed for Hotline fails for the same reason: generation takes longer than the timeout. I’m betting on this, but it’s a hypothesis - I’ll confirm it through the slow log, not randomly.
I have been administering and optimizing such catalogs for over ten years. A recent example is pinger.md: an aggregator catalog with filters and a database similar in size to yours, handles the load without 504 on more modest hardware.
The plan is simple: php-fpm slow log and slow MySQL queries, raise the limits of workers and timeouts to match the actual load profile, check OPcache and object cache, analyze access logs for bots, and filter out junk traffic. By default, I will start with pm.max_children - if you’ve already adjusted it, let me know to avoid duplication.
I’m ready to take a look at the logs for free in 15-20 minutes and tell you if it’s really a worker queue. Write to me - we’ll discuss.

Hello. Based on the symptoms, the issue is likely not with the AX41 power, but with the PHP-FPM/FastCGI queue, slow SQL queries/indexes, regional page or feed generation, and uncontrolled bot traffic. Low 25% CPU and 3–5 GB RAM at 504 are typical for worker limits, timeouts, or blocking requests.
I propose to conduct a controlled audit and the first package of fixes in 2 days: establish a baseline (TTFB, 504, PHP-FPM queue, slow query log, I/O, nginx/Apache logs); identify specific URLs/processes causing the load; check wp-cron, Action Scheduler, object cache, OPcache, MariaDB, and the Hotline feed; classify bots and add safe rate limits; configure PHP-FPM/web server for actual load; repeat measurements before/after.
I work without risky changes in production: first a backup/rollback plan, then one change at a time. The result will be a brief report with evidence of the cause, changes made, and a separate assessment of further improvements to WordPress/regional structure if the bottleneck is in the code. To start, I need SSH sudo, access to FASTPANEL/WordPress, and 2–3 examples of URLs/times when 504 occurred.

Alright, I am ready to help you optimize the server and improve the website's performance. To start, I will analyze the server and website configuration, as well as the traffic and load on the server. Then, I recommend adjusting the PHP settings, analyzing the traffic from spam bots, and identifying the sources of maximum load on the server. I can also assist with setting up caching, optimizing the database, and other tasks that will help utilize the server's potential to the fullest. The time and resources required to complete these tasks depend on the specific results of the analysis, but I am ready to provide you with a detailed work plan and estimate.

Budget: 1200 UAH Deadline: 7 days
Hello, Yaroslav! I am Roman, a specialist in server optimization and WordPress based on Linux. My approach is based on three steps: the first is a deep analysis of the load using tools like htop, iotop, slow log, and traffic analysis using fail2ban and nginx logs to identify the sources of 504 errors. The second is PHP optimization (switching to PHP 8.2, configuring opcache, max_execution_time, memory_limit), MySQL optimization (indexes, query cache, working with a 15 GB database), and caching setup (Redis or OPcache for WordPress). The third is CDN setup, bot protection, and optimization of requests to the admin panel and products. The estimated cost is 1200 UAH for the entire project, with a deadline of 7 working days. As a bonus, there is a free revision of the results within 14 days, as well as recommendations for scaling.
