Hi,

This site is not indexed on Google at all. http://www.thethreehorseshoespub.co.uk

Looking into it, it seems to be giving a 503 error to the google bot.

• I can see the site
• I have checked source code
• Checked robots
• Did have a sitemap param. but removed it for testing
• GWMT is showing 'unreachable' if I submit a site map or fetch

Any ideas on how to remove this error?

Many thanks in advance

I have found the error.

Cloudflare.

Im not sure what it was that caused it, but by turning it off, it seems to be now crawlable.

If anyone knows what would cause this, I woul dbe thankful to know.

Hello Lawrence,

I think this is a question best asked of the Cloudflare support team, but don't be surprised if they blame it on your host. Here are some folks having similar issues. Let us know if you find something out that could help others in your situation in the future.

Good luck!
