WordPress stores everything — posts, products, settings — in a MySQL database. This error means the connection failed: wrong credentials after a host change, a crashed MySQL server, a corrupted database, or a host that killed your DB for resource overuse. Intermittent versions of this error are almost always resource exhaustion: your hosting plan's database falls over under load. Each cause has a clean fix, and the diagnosis takes minutes with server access.
