        I had another crash at 2:53PM. Is there anything I can do to find out what happened?

        Look into web server and database logs.

          The site is still down. Should I reboot?

            Entire server? Why?

              Rebooting is what fixes the db connection

                What do you get if you type uptime? More curious about the 10 and 15 min load average.

                  @IRJ Just restart database and webserver services. Most likely we server alone should be enough.

                    And install that caching plugin. Seriously.

                        I rebooted so It looks like it cleared the uptime info

                            Do you have a chart like this for memory usage?

                                @IRJ I have run Web Servers on DO before, you need to 2GB at the least unless you use something like Cloudways that has Nginx, Varnish, Memcached, etc.

                                    I upgraded to 2GB of RAM and we are seeing more traffic. No crashes so far.

                                      I just had a look at it again, and you have 22 css files. That's insane, that's what's killing your web server. You have total of 156 requests on each visit. Look for a plugin that will aggregate css and js files.

                                        Wow, that's a lot of CSS!

                                            Minification is not aggregation. It is useful, and I'd always do minification, but aggregation gives you so much more.
