Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the verification of your domain. A "403 Error" typically indicates that Googlebot is being denied access to your site. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
- Check File Permissions: Ensure that the permissions for your files and directories are set correctly to allow access to the web server.
- Review Firewall Settings: Make sure that your firewall settings are not blocking Googlebot’s access to your site.
- Inspect .htaccess File: Check your
.htaccess file for any rules that might be preventing access and correct any issues found.
- Check for IP Address Blocking: Ensure that Googlebot’s IP addresses are not blocked by your server or security settings.
If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and provide more specific guidance.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!
