Common causes include: server-side code exceptions (e.g., unhandled exceptions in Python/PHP/Node.js), database connection errors, insufficient server resources (memory, CPU), incorrect server configuration, problems with third-party APIs the server relies on, and issues with file permissions. A poorly written database query or a bug in a server-side function are frequent culprits.
