The community members are experiencing an issue where the Ahrefs SiteAudit bot is returning a 403 error when accessing their websites built on Webstudio and hosted on Cloudflare. Some community members have suggested that the issue may be related to Ahrefs updating their IP addresses or Cloudflare's bot verification process. The community members are trying to troubleshoot the issue, but there is no explicitly marked answer. They have been directed to contact both Ahrefs and Cloudflare about the problem.
The website returns a 403 error to the Ahrefs SiteAudit bot. Has anyone encountered a similar issue and if so, how did you resolve it? The site is built on Webstudio and hosted on Cloudflare.
Hm I'm using Ahrefs too and not having a problem. It's on the list of approved bots. Do you have any config for blocking bots on your Cloudflare account?
I published a website last week and another one today. Both return 403 errors, even though I haven't set up any configurations on Cloudflare yet. It could be that Ahrefs changed their IP addresses yesterday. Thanks for your reply
Could you please advise me what I should check? Ahrefs Site Audit works fine on all my websites except two that I built with Webstudio. This is not a complaint - I'm just trying to figure out the situation.
Are they custom URLs or wstd.io domain? I don't think it should matter but just trying to figure out what the difference could be. And also per Oleg request can you screenshot what youre seeing
