We all know, cPanel is one of best server admin panel. It's best thing is Easy Apache. It is user friendly GUI platform for managing Apache and PHP in WHM panel. cPanel is going to withdraw support for EasyApache 3 (EA3) and asking every user to upgrade EA4.
Recently I've upgraded it, It's too simple process, you can do this with their official tutorial.
But, after upgraded and if you are enabled and using PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager), you may face some slowdown on websites or you may face frequent "This site can't be reached" error message on browser.
This is happens due to max_children size may exceed. That means, the default value of max_children is set to 5 on PHP-FPM. You can trace this issue with below command,
root@server [~]#egrep 'example.*max_children' /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/var/log/php-fpm/error.log
the above commend will help to find specific website, where example is domain name without extension and ea-php56 is php version, where it may ea-php70 or ea-php72 or any other based on your php version.
This will give result as mentioned bellow,
