Generally speaking, while the computer or cell phone is used to access or open a specific website, this PC and phone often needs to be connected with internet, and then, find the server that holds your desired website information over the internet, send the message for using the information, receive the access permission from the destination sever and at last, process the received information to open your needed site. However, once the whole process gets some problems and could not be smoothly completed, your computer or phone receives no response, could not open the site and will give the related 502 bad gateway errors.

Hence, there are often several common reasons that could bring you such bad gateway error issues:

1). No responses from the destination server.

Sometimes, when there are too many link messages sent to the destination server and the server is also not able to process them all at a time, without getting a normal response, your phone or computer will directly produce such 502 bad gateway error message to warn you. Of course, too low server response is also one of the reasons behind. 

2). Use a proxy server

In daily use, in order to visit some special websites, people may also launch and use a proxy server which will stop the common response to or from the destination servers and bring you the related bad gateway messages. Hence, close it to take chances.

3). Internet problems.

Of course, as we all know, in order to open and view a website, you are also supposed to open the internet. Once your internet is incorrectly connected or you get too slow internet speed or other internet problems, such HTTP error 502 issues also are able to occur.

4).The running processes or programs block the server response.

And, it is also possible that the sever responses are blocked by some processes or programs that are running on your PC in that moment. Just try to close some unused apps, games or tools to have a try. 

5).Too low computer free space. 

And, after receiving the server response, your phone or computer also needs enough free space to process the received website information to open it. However, if there is no enough free space left there, the error 502 warning also pops out.
