Website down, slow or hacked? Mellonbot finds out why and fixes it.
Database errors, expired certificates, failing backups, attacks, slow pages. Mellonbot’s AI digs through your site and the server it runs on, tells you the real cause in plain words and fixes it once you say OK.
1 of 6: Your site says “Error establishing a database connection”
At the busiest moment your site’s PHP used more memory than the server has, so the database was pushed out and crashed.
Mellonbot can restart the database and lower PHP’s limit so both fit.
01 /The problem
Websites break at the worst possible time
Sites go down, slow down, get attacked or quietly stop sending email. Finding out why usually means logs, forums, plugins and guesswork.

“Once a month I lose a whole day logging into client sites just to check they’re still OK.”

“The site takes eight seconds to load, and three speed plugins later it still does.”
02 /The thinking
Other tools tell you what broke. Mellonbot works out why.
An alert leaves the hard part to you. Mellonbot’s AI asks follow-up questions, checks the answers and follows the clues until it finds the real cause — and the fix that stops it coming back.
Typical monitoring: CRITICAL · Disk usage 100% on /
Mellonbot investigates:
- What’s using the space? 21 GB in one folder — old backups from a plugin.
- Why does it keep growing? The plugin saves a copy every night and never deletes any.
- What has it broken? Photo uploads and new orders have failed since 11:05.
What happened: A backup plugin has saved a copy every night for three years. The disk filled up this morning, so your shop can’t save new orders.
Fix: Keep the five newest backups, delete the rest and make the plugin tidy up after itself.
03 /How it works
From “something's wrong” to fixed in four steps
- 01
Connect
Waiting
Run one command on your server — it installs a small agent that only connects out.
- 02
Check
Waiting
Ask, and it takes a read-only look at your site, SSL, services, disk, updates, security, databases and more.
- 03
Investigate
Waiting
The AI follows the clues — logs, recent changes, what depends on what — to the real cause, then explains it in everyday words.
- 04
Fix
Waiting
You approve, and Mellonbot applies the fix, checks it worked and keeps a backup so you can undo it.
04 /What it fixes
The problems that actually take sites down
Each check is where the thinking starts: when one fails, Mellonbot works out why and what will fix it for good.
05 /You stay in control

07 /FAQ
Questions, answered
Is it safe to let an AI fix my website?
The AI works out what’s wrong and proposes fixes, but every command it wants to run is signed for your server and reviewed by a second AI first. Commands that only look run on their own; anything that changes your server, reads passwords or sends data out waits for your OK. Files are backed up before they’re edited, every change comes with how to undo it, and the agent only connects out to Mellonbot.
What sites and hosts does it work with?
WordPress, Laravel, Node, static and custom sites on a VPS or dedicated server running Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 8/9 or Rocky Linux 8/9, on any host — DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS and the rest, including servers behind NAT. Shared hosting without root works too, with the same command without sudo plus --user, or with the Mellonbot WordPress plugin; there Mellonbot can only change what your account owns. Site builders like Wix or Squarespace aren’t supported.
Can it clean up a hacked site?
It looks for changed files, injected code and the hole the attacker came through. It backs up what it touches first, then removes the code and closes the hole only after you approve.
Will it make my site faster?
When the slowdown comes from the server — memory, PHP workers, the database or bots hammering the site — yes. It doesn’t redesign your theme or compress your images.
How do I get started?
Create a free account, name your workspace and connect your first site with one command. The free plan gives you 100 credits to start, then 50 a month, no card needed.
What does it cost?
Free with 100 credits to start, then 50 a month. Paid plans start at $9 a month, plus one-off credit packs — see the pricing page.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Everything is explained in plain English first, and connecting your site takes one command — or send a link to your developer or host and they run it. If you are technical, the full details are one click away.
Is a person fixing my site?
No. Mellonbot is software that you control. Its AI investigates and proposes changes, you decide what runs, and no one at Mellonbot logs in to your site or server or works on it by hand.
Still have a question?
