At a glance

The community member is experiencing an issue with a sitemap check tool from seotesting.com, where Cloudflare is blocking the request and returning an error. The community members suggest that this is likely due to Cloudflare's bot defense, and the tool's user agent needs to be added to Cloudflare's allowed list. Some community members have faced similar issues with other SEO tools and have reached out to Cloudflare support, but the process has been slow. The recommended solution is to contact Cloudflare support to resolve the issue.

Using some sitemap check tools and this one from seotesting.com throws in this error.

I've noticed it throws the same error on other webstudio projects as well. Is it something that can be fixed?

most likely bots defence, they need to get into the official list

I though so, thanks for confirming

There's a SEO tool that I use that's got the same issue, where they need to be on the Cloudflare list. They've applied several months ago but still haven't had luck. At least they are trying.
