Here, we have mentioned some of the common solutions by following which you would surely be able to resolve 504 Gateway Time-out error: 

Solution 1: Try Reloading the Webpage

Alternatively, you can press the F5 key refresh/reload the webpage in most browsers. As most 504 errors are due to temporarily overloaded servers, using this solution should make your site come right back.

Solution 2: Reboot Your Network Devices

Many times, issues with your network devices like modem or router could result in 504 Gateway Time-out error. To fix this, you can try rebooting these devices. Well, you can switch off these networking devices in any order, what’s important is how you turn it on. Typically, turn these devices on from the “outside-in,” following the connection order from the internet service provider to your main client device.

Solution 3: Check Your Proxy Settings

A proxy server sits between your device and the internet. It’s mainly used to enhance online privacy by hiding private information (e.g. device location) from websites and web servers (e.g. using a VPN). While it’s rare for proxy servers to cause 504 Gateway Time-out error, incorrect proxy server settings can sometimes be the reason. You can disable the proxy server and try reloading the webpage to see whether it’ll fix the error. 

Solution 4: DNS Issues

DNS issues on the server-side or the client-side (or both) can also result in 504 Gateway Time-out errors. One of the common reasons for this is the inability of the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) to correct IP addresses or the irresponsive DNS server. It mainly occurs when you’ve just migrated your WordPress site to a new server or host. Therefore, it’s essential for you to wait for the domain’s DNS records to propagate fully, which may take up to 24 hours. To fix the client DNS issues, you can try to flush your local DNS cache. If you’re using Windows, you can flush the DNS cache by opening the Command Prompt and entering the following directive: ipconfig /flushdns

If it works, it will display a “Successfully flushed the DNS resolver Cache” message on your screen.
