 * This is the error on 3 different sites:
 * We received a non-200 HTTP code when connecting to your site: 403. The response
   body was: <!DOCTYPE html> <html style=”height:100%”> <head> <meta name=”viewport”
   content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no” /> <title> 403
   Forbidden </title><style>@media (prefers-color-scheme:dark){body{background-color:#
   000!important}}</style></head> <body style=”color: #444; margin:0;font: normal
   14px/20px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; height:100%; background-color: #fff;”

   this resource on the server is denied!</p> </div></div><div style=”color:#f0f0f0;

 * This is happening on 3 sites I manage. Previously if a site did not connect, 
   I was able to simply log in to the site and then it would connect without issue.
 * I have tried clearing site caches, clearing my browser cache/browsing data, etc.
   but no luck with these normally simple fixes.
 * Diagnostics are available.
