We have a simple word press website having articles and some videos , though we have enough bandwidth with 2GB RAM, whenever real time traffic reaches around 1500 visitors website get crashed and doesn’t load. Please help if someone can test it: https://timenational.com Is this issue with word press or server related?

You need to make sure that your website is well optimised:
- Remove any plugins that are not being used
- Try to reduce the number of requests that you have for each page
- Use good website and server caching
- Maybe implement a CDN solution as well
Of course adding some additional RAM might still be beneficial.
Those are just some basic suggestions.
I am using Centos web panel, though it is not user friendly as Control Panel. My wordpress websites also get down suddenly and not log record are displayed. I have to restart the server in every 3-4 days.
What happens when the site crashes? Is there a specific message that is displayed?
