520 Error being thrown when font attempts to load

I’m suddenly getting this status error code thrown from some of my pages when trying to load a font file. All other assets are loading correctly. Any ideas?

What kind site do you have and who hosts it?

Also getting the same error with .otf font files…

I had the same issue today: I received a 520 for my .ttf files on my WordPress site.

I turned off the DNS proxy setting for my domain and then turned it back on again, which seemed to fix it.

Is this what you are referring to?

Yes, precisely that. I turned off the proxying and browsed the site a bit. The site was slower (as expected, with no Cloudflare caching enabled), but the font loaded fine. Then I turned the DNS proxy back on, the site went back to being fast again, and the fonts still loaded fine.

I had also previously cleared the Cloudflare cache using the button inside my Cloudflare WordPress plugin, but I’m not sure if that had any effect.

That did the trick! Thank you for your help.

Actually, it seemed to work temporarily but no longer. Needs some more investigation I think. Away at the moment but will raise a support case when I’m back.

Understood. So far, it has my sites (and all it’s games) back up and running. I’ll keep a close eye on it.
