http status code 403 is like the internet’s "talk to the hand" moment.

Quick fixes:
- Restart your router (IP might’ve been flagged).
- Try a different browser profile.
- Use a proxy to test (hide.me is a free one).

If it’s a WordPress site, maybe a plugin went rogue.
Hey OP, sounds like you’ve tried the basics!

If it’s still happening, maybe share the site URL (if safe)? Could be a geo-block or server misconfig.

Tools like Pingdom or UptimeRobot can check if the site’s partially down.

And yeah, 403 is the internet’s way of saying "you shall not pass" 😅
