Understand why and how to resolve 409 Conflict HTTP response code for your pages

Upon completion of your site's audit, you may notice that some pages respond with a 409 Conflict HTTP status code; however, these pages load just fine when checked.

Note: It's usually the "Contact" page of your site responding with this error.

Why are these pages responding with this code if they load without any issues?

Some hosting providers restrict crawlers from accessing certain pages (such as the "contact" page), for claims that they are highly susceptible to spam or attacks.

What can I do to resolve this issue?

Unfortunately, there isn't anything that can be done from our end to resolve this issue; however, you can reach out to your hosting provider to request that they allow us to crawl the page(s) by removing this restriction.
