I have migrated my drupal site live to our shared hosting on ix web hosting. After i have done this my site keeps popping up 503 errors, everywhere, at intervals about 2 minutes. i browse around for a while and its fine then suddenly BAM 503, refresh a dozen times and im back to the site. sometimes when i get the site back it doesn't load properly with images or css missing, a few more refreshes and its back to normal.

I have
Optimized my PHP tables ( all of them via phpmyadmin)
disabled all un-used and non critical modules.
Flushed all the caches.
updated all modules and drupal core

I need Help in any way you guys can offer! i am no wizard when it comes to mySQL or php at all... and my sites users cannot be bombarded with errors when using my site!.

Let me know if you need me to give any information or screen captures ANYTHING! and i will get it up here asap

I also went to websiteoptimization.com and analyzed my site and received the following feedback, most of this doesn't mean much to me nor would i even know how to begin making the changes to get this feedback to give me the green light.

Analysis and Recommendations

TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site optimization. Y

TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 48 which by their number will dominate web page delay. Consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Above 20 objects per page the overhead from dealing with the actual objects (description time and wait time) accounts for more than 80% of whole page latency. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details on how object overhead dominates web page latency. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can reduce HTTP requests. Replace graphic text headers with CSS text headers to further reduce HTTP requests. Finally, consider optimizing parallel downloads by using different hostnames or a CDN to reduce object overhead.

TOTAL_IMAGES - Warning! The total number of images on this page is 39 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Recommend combining, replacing, and optimizing your graphics. Replace graphic rollover menus with CSS rollover menus to speed display and minimize HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images. Use CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques to reduce HTTP requests. Replace graphic text headers with CSS text headers to further reduce HTTP requests. Finally, consider optimizing parallel downloads by using different hostnames to reduce object overhead.

TOTAL_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this page is 131702 bytes, which will load in over 20 seconds on a 56Kbps modem - or 35.85 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 100K to achieve sub 20 second response times on 56K connections. Be sure to provide feedback for pages over 100K by layering your design to display useful content within the first two seconds. Consider optimizing your site with Website Optimization Secrets, Speed Up Your Site or contacting us about our optimization services.

TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 8 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refactor, and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages. Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in XHTML web pages.

HTML_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of this HTML file is 13019 bytes, which less than 50K. Assuming that you specify the HEIGHT and WIDTH of your images, this size allows your HTML to display content in under 10 seconds, the average time users are willing to wait for a page to display without feedback.

IMAGES_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your images is 45474 bytes, which is less than 50K. Even with a 50K HTML page this page should load in less than 20 seconds on a 56Kbps connection. Ideally each image should be less than 1160 bytes, to easily fit into one TCP-IP packet.

SCRIPT_SIZE - Warning! The total size of external your scripts is 73209 bytes, which is over 20K. Consider optimizing your JavaScript for size, combining them, and using HTTP compression where appropriate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents. You can substitute CSS menus for JavaScript-based menus to minimize or even eliminate the use of JavaScript.

MULTIM_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your external multimedia files is 0 bytes, which is less than 10K.

TITLE - Congratulations. Your TITLE tag is 4Villains.org - for villains by villains - an interactive web series coming 2011 | Do You have what it takes to be a Super Villains, Sign up and find out today! characters, or 90 characters or less. Search engines and directories generally index the entire title but display only 55 to 90 characters of your title, with most averaging 70 to 80 characters in length. Ideally your title should contain your top one or two keyphrases, and be 12 to 15 words long.

I have also just finished working with ix web hosting and they claim there is nothing they can do on there end, they suggest i optimize drupals memory usage as it is overloading the server or something along those lines.. he wasn't very clear.

Any suggestions, ideas, or help would be appreciated! let me know what info i need to supply to help resolve this!
