Crawl bots getting blocked

[Billywedlock]

I am far from expert, but having some error signs coming up with certain crawl bots. Am I right in thinking it is a cloudflare security issue ? (see below . )

When using the Rich test results checker, I also get an error message, though nothing shows up in search console. It says googlebot blocket by robots.txt , so strange it shows there but not in GSC.

Any ideas or comment welcomed. Thank you

Google Search Console has been having problems lately. I’d wait several weeks at least!

I think they’re still having an update. You can follow them on Twitter for information.

Most of my websites generally index within several days at least.

Google Search Console (GSC) has been having issues recently. I'd stand by a little while in any event!

I believe they're actually having an update. You can follow them on Twitter for data.

Have you checked your robots.txt file just to make sure you have not blocked off anything? If you are using WP, perhaps by mistake, have you checked the box that says disallow/discourage search engines under Genera Settings > Reading?
