Screaming Frog showing 503 status code. Why?

EcommerceSite

Screaming Frog is showing a 503 code for images. If I go and use a header checker like SEOBook it shows 200. Why would that be?

Here is an example link-

Hello,

i took a look on the http responses in my browser from that pictures and they are definetly ok

If you are using some cache system, try to clean it, it may could be that you modified them recently and Screaming Frog is getting a cached version

I just checked that link in Screaming Frog and it is 200.

Did you recently have your site in maintenance mode? That is usually what the 503 code represents.

I do use Cloudflare and I am wondering if that may be the problem.

Recently I had that problem also mate.

Thing is if you have any server issues you might get 503.

If your site is on maintenance you might get 503.

If your site gets high traffic and goes down you might get a 503.

Best thing to do is check with Fetch as Google tool from WMT to see how Google sees it.
