Google Search Console 403 Errors

[fransoares]

Hello,

I’m having a problem with 403 blocking in Google Search Console.

This site of mine already has thousands of URLs indexed. The problem started a few weeks ago…

After trying several solutions, the only one that seemed to solve it for good was disabling all clouds for my DNS records.

First, I contacted the hosting company (Hostinger - Managed Cloud), and they assured me that there was no type of blocking on their part.

Afterwards, I revised my application a lot to rule out the possibility that it was my error.

After trying everything, I decided to deactivate Cloduflare. With that, the blockades stopped.

And I didn’t have any WAF blocking rules that were blocking Google. In my WAF reports, it did not display any blocking for Google User Agent, as well as no Path for the URLS that are blocked in Google Search.

My only WAF rules were these below:

Can someone help me? I didn’t want to give up using Cloudflare, as I really like the security it offers.

Olá @fransoares,

I’m not being able to find this zone under Cloudflare.

I would recommend you to investigate in your Security > Events if Cloudflare might be blocking any of these requests, and act accordingly. If you see a certain security feature blocking these requests, you might want to create a custom firewall rule so that legit requests may bypass the specific security feature.

I would like to further assist, but I don’t have enough details do so.

I hope this helps, but please let us know if we can help you further.
