    Cloudflare is blocking people who should be able to visit

    I investigate the blocked requests, identify the setting or rule responsible, and make a targeted correction. Checks can cover firewall rules, caching, SSL, DNS, and the connection to your server.

    What you may be seeing

    • Firewall or bot rules block legitimate requests
    • Rate limits or challenges affect public pages
    • Cloudflare and the server return different results
    • Cache, SSL, DNS, or security-plugin settings conflict

    Getting started

    Your website and what visitors see. An error code, screenshot, or Cloudflare Ray ID is useful if you have one.

    What you get

    An explanation of the cause, agreed configuration changes, access checks, and a written record of the change.

    Before work starts

    We agree on the scope, price, and how the work will be checked.

    403 and 1020 errors

    Find the rule behind the blocked request

    A Cloudflare Ray ID or security event helps connect a blocked page, form, API, or checkout request to a specific rule. I compare affected and working requests, check whether the origin is also involved, and make a targeted change.

    Googlebot access

    Verify the crawler before changing protection

    A Googlebot user-agent string alone is not proof of a genuine crawler. I verify the relevant requests, inspect challenges and rate limits, and test the affected pages after the rule change. There is no need to disable protection for all traffic.
