Why is my Drupal website having problems?
There could be many reasons why your Drupal website might fail. It could be conflicts with your theme, modules, and/or external scripts that is needed for your website to work. In some cases the server that the website is hosted on could also cause issues.
How much will it cost to investigate and fix?

Common Drupal Issues
Here are some common Drupal issues that may occur on your website. These are generally fixable.
I almost feel bad including this because everyone knows you should apply all security updates as soon as possible. Here’s some pointers for staying on top of security updates:- Updates always come out on Wednesday afternoon Eastern time- You can find all security advisories for core and contrib, as well as security PSAs, on Drupal.org- To receive e-mails when new security advisories are posted: edit your account on Drupal.org, click “My newsletters”, check the “Security announcements” checkbox and click “Save”- Install the “Update manager” module, and see the “Available updates” report to see if there are any unapplied security updates on your site!
A White Screen of Death means when you access your website, you see nothing but a blank page. There can be multiple reasons behind a WSOD, the most common ones being compatibility issues with a module or a theme. Of course, the “incompatibility” itself can have multiple faces: a plugin may have a conflict with another plugin, or a plugin may not be compatible with the latest version of Drupal. Similarly, a theme may also experience compatibility issues with Drupal after an update. The easiest solution is to retry and revert to a backup or rename your /sites/all/modules folder.
An error that you receive from an overloaded server (or a badly configured server).It generally happens when the website’s server is too overloaded and is unable to complete your browser’s request.
