Why do I keep getting error messages on certain webpages?

Hi

What are the error messages that you are getting?

403 Forbidden and 54113

These are messages I get so far:

Home Depot's webpage says: Oops!! Something went wrong. Please refresh page Refresh does nothing.

Lowe's webpage says Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.lowes.com/weekly-ad" on this server.

This is very annoying. Help

Lowe's & Home Depot are blocked by Akamai, some previous threads are here:

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1569856

(Macy's falls into the same bucket, FWIW.)

This is however something else, the "54113" code is another provider, most likely Fastly — and they basically outright block based on IP address or geographic region, e.g. even in other browsers when trying to access www.lindtusa.com from search results, I first get the "403 Forbidden" I'm attaching: … and only on subsequent visits I'm allowed in. That's their providers, deciding who to serve, and who to reject. 🤷

I, too, get the "403 Forbidden" nginx error message when trying to access a web site, which happens to be my own website. I have no problem with access through my iPhone or using the Microsoft Edge.
