I am experiencing an error on a page that uses the advanced gallery block a few times. I have roughly 80 images spread between 5 different advanced gallery blocks on a single page. I had the site on my local environment and then a testing environment before moving to the live site. As soon as I moved to the live site, the backend edit page (No issues on the front-end display of the page) would throw console errors (error 500) on the images in the galleries. It would then turn into 404 errors as it timed out. when I clicked on the lines in the console with the errors it would tell me I had a 401 error and I reached more than the “max_user_connections”, which seems to be a MySQL error. I’m guessing that the different environments have different # of max_user_connections and the live environment is set at the lowest. I’m on a shared environment, so they’re not being very helpful. Do the advanced gallery blocks make a lot of database calls? Is there anything I can do to reduce the number of calls without changing the look of the page?
