Getting a Response 403 Forbidden Error – How Do I Fix This? or Why Am I Seeing a Response 403 and How

Had this last night! Response 403 kept popping up until I realized my clock was out of sync.

Weird fix, but sync your PC’s time with the internet. SSL certificates freak out if the time’s wrong.

Also, check if the site uses Cloudflare—sometimes their security blocks legit users.
