= Bug Description =
When inside of the WordPress admin panel for the Fedora Magazine, I often
get 503 errors and have trouble staying persistently connected / logged
in. This is especially true when clearing out the comment queue, but I've
run into the issue now where I cannot edit articles without timing in a
few seconds after opening the article.

This doesn't seem to affect the front end, but the backend is difficult
for me to use right now. I am unsure of whether this is widespread or
localized to me.

= Bug Analysis =
I am unsure to the cause, but I have two cases where I received 503 errors
from the Varnish cache server.

'''Cleaning out comments''':

- 503 Backend fetch failed
- Guru Mediation, XID: 27722808

'''Drafting an article''':

- 503 Backend fetch failed
- Guru Mediation, XID: 27367471

Reloading the page usually gets it to load back after two or three
attempts, but when clearing comments, the next time I try to clear more, I
receive this error, and when writing an article, I'll be notified within a
few seconds that my connection was lost and my changes are being saved to
my browser. Refreshing throws the error.

= Fix Recommendation =
Unsure of possible fix.
