SSL Error - Way over my head

Website, Application, Performance Security

I host my site on siteground, another service is hosting domains. He enacted his Cloudflare service on my hosting. (siteground) Since I have to wait for him to respond so I can get support, I figured I’d come here and try this route.

I am getting this error that prevents crawling (for SEO).

write EPROTO 140547276986176:error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version:…/deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1407:SSL alert number 70

I’m not going to pretend I even have any clue what this means, hence why I am here.

Would anyone have any suggestions or pointers?

The site is www.bntwindowsanddoors.com

Thank You,

You’ve restricted your TLS version to 1.3 only. Lots of crawlers don’t go this high.

Go to your SSL/TLS Edge Certificates settings and set Minimum TLS down to 1.2. (1.1 if absolutely necessary).
