Step-by-Step Fix
1
Refresh the Page
Sometimes it is a temporary glitch that a refresh fixes.
2
Check "Down for Everyone"
Use a site like downforeveryoneorjustme.com to see if it is global.
3
Clear Cookies/Cache
Stale session data can sometimes trigger server-side errors.
When to See a Technician
A 500 error is almost always a problem with the website's server, not your computer.
