When your website is reaching one or more of your hosting account's resource limits, it may result in "Resource Limit is Reached" errors or slow down the website. The error that appears will depend on the resource limit that the account is affecting.
Error 508: Error 508 appears when the input processes reach the limit. If this limit is reached, error code 508 will appear. This way, a very heavy site will return 508 errors without affecting other users on the server.
Website slowness: If the site is CPU or IO limited, the site will start to respond slower.
Error 500 or 503: If the site is reaching memory or number of processes limits, the user will see errors 500 or 503.
Everything you do on your website, from uploading files, installing plugins to have visitors, etc., uses server resources. The most common (but not the only) causes of excess resources are:
Increase in legitimate website traffic: Your website may suddenly receive a large number of visitors and the error will be displayed until the number of visitors is reduced or resource limits are increased;
Backend scripts or cron jobs: Scripts running in the background, including automatic backups and cron jobs, can create a significant load, which in addition to normal traffic can affect website performance and cause errors;
Web crawlers or search engines indexing your website too frequently;
Poorly written or pirated scripts: Scripts and plugins that are outdated, pirated (nulled), or incorrectly coded can cause loops. Even a few simultaneous requests to such scripts can push the website over its resource limits;
DDOS: Denial of service attack overloads the server, making it unavailable or preventing its normal use.

In this article we have explained in detail each of the resources limited by the LVE, it is important that you review said documentation before continuing.
