Hey, trying to access other websites but getting a 403 Error page?
As discussed above, a 403 error means that you do not have permission to view the website. If you’re trying to access other websites and you’re getting the 403 Forbidden Error page, here are a few ways to resolve it.
You may need to clear your browser’s cache because when you visit a site, sometimes it displays a saved copy of the site. Clearing your cache may resolve your issue, especially without going through further troubleshooting.
Check the website’s status or reach out to them on social media, such as Twitter or Facebook. They may be aware of the issue because multiple people are experiencing it, or you can find out how to get support if you’re the only one.
The link may be incomplete or incorrect. As we discussed above, you can’t view any files that begin with a dot(.) such as .htaccess in the browser. You also may not have the complete URL or web address.
For example, https://www.facebook.com/HostGator/photos/a.10150093510632092/ is not a valid link because it stops at the directory /a.10150093510632092. However, the full link – https://www.facebook.com/HostGator/photos/a.10150093510632092/10158726693822092 – works because it resolves to a file that is viewable to the public.
