              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.

                                        Here is the nice graph Cloudways gives you.....

                                          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.
