How to Fix the 504 Gateway Timeout Error
Retry the web page by clicking the refresh/reload button, pressing F5, or Call +1-(818) 900-9884. (For Further Help)
Even though the 504 Gateway Timeout error is reporting an error outside of your control, the error might only be temporary. Simply retrying the page is a quick and easy thing to try.
Restart all of your network devices. Temporary problems with your modem, router, switches, or other networking hardware could be causing the 504 Gateway Timeout issue you’re seeing. Just restarting these devices could help.
Tip: While the order you turn off these devices isn’t important, the order that you turn them back on is. In general, you want to turn devices on from the outside-in. If you’re not sure what that means, check out the link at the beginning of this step for a complete tutorial.
Check the proxy server settings in your browser or application and make sure they’re correct. Incorrect proxy settings can cause 504 errors.
Tip: See Proxy.org for an updated, respected list of proxy servers that you can choose from. There are also several websites that offer free proxy server list downloads.
Note: Most computers do not have proxy settings at all, so if yours are empty, don’t worry, just skip this step.
Some Possible ways to get rid of this error:
Change your DNS servers. It’s possible that the 504 Gateway Timeout error you’re seeing is caused by an issue with the DNS servers you happen to be using.
Note: Unless you’ve previously changed them, the DNS servers you have configured right now are probably the ones automatically assigned by your ISP. Fortunately, a number of other DNS servers are available for your use that you can choose from. See our Free & Public DNS Servers list for your options.
Tip: If not all your network devices are getting an HTTP 504 error but they’re all on the same network, changing your DNS servers probably isn’t going to work. If this sounds like your situation, move on to the next idea.
If nothing has worked up to this point, contacting the website is probably the next best thing to do. There’s a good chance the website administrators are already working to fix the root cause of the 504 Gateway Timeout error, assuming they’re aware of it, but there’s nothing wrong touching base with them.
See our Website Contact Information page for help figuring out how to contact popular websites. Most major sites have social networking accounts they use to help support their services and some even have telephone numbers and email addresses.
Tip: If it’s starting to look like the website might be giving a 504 error for everyone, searching Twitter for real-time information about the site’s outage is often helpful. The best way to do this is to search for #websitedown on Twitter. For example, if Facebook might be down, search #facebookdown.
Contact your Internet Service Provider. It’s very likely at this point, after following all the troubleshooting above, that the 504 Gateway Timeout that you’re seeing is a problem caused by a network issue that your ISP is responsible for.
Check back with the site regularly. No doubt it’ll start working again soon.
