Webcite – does iThemes Security block it?

  • Hi there,

    I need to use webcitation (https://webcitation.org) to archive a citation on my website.
    When I try to do this I get the following error:

    Your recent WebCite request has completed. Following are the results from this request:

    ————————————–
    CACHING FAILED

    https://csarsg.org.uk/research/the-higher-power-project/
    The caching attempt failed for the following reason: No files could be downloaded for the given URL. This is likely because
    a) The URL is incorrect,
    b) The site in question refuses connections by crawling robots, or
    c) The site in question is inaccessible from the WebCite network

    The url is right, there’s no reason that it wouldn’t be accessible from their network, and that leaves refusal of connection – I had a look in the htaccess file but I can’t see anything.

    Could there be a setting in iThemes security that could be causing this?

    kind regards
