Error message

Your WordPress server at ${bold(url)} appears to be overloaded.

${getLowerRequestConcurrencyOptionMessage()}

What it means

handleFetchErrors detected an ECONN-aborted/overload-style response from the WPGraphQL endpoint: the server at url is responding but appears overloaded. The message points at lowering request concurrency (via the documented option message) as the remedy before failing the build.

Solutions

1. Lower options.schema.requestConcurrency in gatsby-config.js to reduce load on the WordPress server.
2. Increase server resources or enable response caching for WPGraphQL.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at packages/gatsby-source-wordpress/src/utils/fetch-graphql.ts:358 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Occurs when the WordPress server responds too slowly or with overload errors. Lower request concurrency in the plugin's schema options and/or increase server resources.
