Can Somenoe Help me with BING?

[Lawliet1996]

My site is fully indexed on Google and all pages appear there without issues. However, on Bing Webmaster Tools it shows as indexed, but when I check manually on Bing search, the pages do not appear. When I use the "Live URL" inspection, I receive this message:


“URL cannot be indexed by Bing. The inspected URL returned an HTTP 403 error when we tried to fetch the content. Please make sure that this is intentional. If you have moved the page to a new location, please use proper redirects.”


Could you help me understand what is causing this issue?

Never mind, after clearing the CDN cache the error is gone. Hopefully this helps someone.

Glad that you fixed it. Submit your sitemap to Bing and let to handle the job.

Nice catch
This usually happens when a CDN, WAF, or firewall blocks Bingbot
and returns a 403 while Google is still allowed.

Clearing the CDN cache fixes it in many cases.
It’s also a good idea to:
– Whitelist Bingbot IPs / user-agent
– Re-submit sitemap in Bing Webmaster Tools
– Monitor crawl errors for a few days

Thanks for sharing the solution — helpful for others.

Bingbot is likely getting blocked by firewall/WAF hosting rules or country/IP restrictions.
Check server logs allow Bingbot user-agent/IPs, and test without CDN/security layers.

Seen this exact thing - CDN or WAF lets Google through but slaps Bingbot with 403, so tools say indexed but SERP is empty. Clearing cache resets the rule hit but long term you need to whitelist Bingbot UA + IP ranges or loosen bot rules, otherwise it comes back. Check server logs next time - youll see Bingbot getting blocked while Google crawls clean.

Looks like a server or firewall blocking Bingbot, causing the 403 error.

Your CDN/firewall was blocking Bingbot (returning 403); clearing cache fixed it.
