Regarding the 403 errors

Dear,

I have been struggling few days to find a fix since our website analysis showed that site or the server is blocking automated access. As the result, I am getting many 403 forbidden links (resources and images) especially as you see in the image most of 403 errors are from wp-content folder.

If I go to those links and see them manually, they look ok and I don’t get errors. But when the crawlers performing multiple simultaneous requests, those errors appear. I am afraid that this hurts our website’s seo. Website:https://www.badetonneholz.de

Original message who performed the website analysis:

“It looks like your site or the server is blocking automated access or is choking
upon performing multiple simultaneous requests (code-403 “Forbidden by Server”),
thus preventing proper crawling of your website (hence why search engines have trouble
fully indexing & properly ranking your site, because they use automated bot software to
do that and your site blocks them out). This usually happens on WordPress-based
websites (like yours) that either use a security plugin to block automated access (e.g.
“Bad Behavior”, “Wordfence”), or use a misconfigured W3 Total Cache plugin.
However, it can also happen if your server / hosting provider blocks access directly. This
behavior is to be avoided at all costs for websites that don’t have high rankings or
reputation, and is useful ~only~ for really huge websites with lots of attack situations
and that already have an established rank & reputation. So I strongly recommend
disabling any plugins/settings that prevent automated access because they only harm
your site.”
