Does this match what you’re seeing?
- The page is completely white with no error
- Viewing the page source shows nothing
- Only some pages are blank
PHP stopped before sending anything, and error display is off (correctly) so visitors see nothing.
WordPress?
Go to WordPress white screen of death: how to fix a blank page.
1. Read the error log
Open System Info & Files then Site Summary / Statistics / Logs for the domain, reload the blank page, and read the newest entries. Also check for error_log files in the site’s folders. How to find PHP errors (error logs and display_errors)
2. Temporarily show errors
If the logs are empty, add to the top of the page’s main PHP file (usually index.php):
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);Reload, read the error, then remove these lines.
