406 Not Acceptable – Want to Allow Ahrefs to Crawl Site
-
I want to verify that WordPress is not blocking Ahrefs from crawling my website.
I am wondering if there is a firewall in place or anything else due to an update, etc that might be causing the 406 Not Acceptable error I am seeing in my Ahrefs error reporting tool.

Hello there,
Many thanks for reaching out.
Are you able to confirm the URL of the website that you need assistance with please?

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.
As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I have confirmed that site is not hosted here at WordPress.com, so we have no way of knowing if anything is being blocked by your web host. I would suggest contacting your web host about this issue. Best of luck for a quick answer.
