Are there no ways to prevent the seemingly frequent occurrence of error 524 & error establishing connection to the database?

Thanks,

That sure sounds like a server issue. Cloudflare is not involved in database connections.

How would you respond to a server team who directs you back to Cloudflare?

Focus on the database connection. It sounds like it’s not completely unreachable. Only sometimes.

Your app should be configured to connect to a database server that’s not proxied by Cloudflare. Either with an IP address, an unproxied hostname, or localhost, if it’s the same server as the app.

Would you mind pontificating here? I am not quite sure that I understand what you mean by this.

Thanks!

Is this a Wordpress site?

Mhm; yes, it is a Wordpress site.

Then the database is most likely hosted on the same server. Your wp-config.php should have DB_HOST set to localhost. If the DB is not on the same server, you should set DB_HOST to the IP address of that server.
