Access denied for one website (Re-Post; Still unsolved)

I am reposting this question because I mistakenly clicked "solved" on the original post:

On only one specific website I get a message "you don't have permission to access <that website> on this server. It happens in both Chrome and Firefox. No other website is affected. I do not have a VPN. Help please!

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

Have you tried clearing the caches and cookies from those browsers?

Give that a try and see if it helps at all.

It's common that some websites cannot be properly accessed by certain browsers.

Safari has trouble with some and it's not surprising that Firefox and Chrome might have trouble with others.

It all depends on the internet standards and protocols that the site developer adheres to when designing the site.


If those browsers worked before, then perhaps the site servers are having some trouble or a site update has been made and gone a little sideways.


Try accessing the site again in a day or two.
