What I hear you saying is that you don't know of any restriction on web crawlers.

Why do I get a 403 when I run:

`wget https://renewrocktown.com`

Yet it works fine when I view it in the browser?

Here's my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I tried that. I get a 403.

I'm trying to do the authentication process for letsencrypt.

It told me to put a file in my folder:

https://renewrocktown.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/

with a value.

When the file is downloaded via my browser, it shows up correctly. When it's downloaded with the certbot script, or with wget, it shows a 403.

Apparently the host is restricting crawling. This makes sense.

Is there any way around that?

I realize if I purchase premium, I can get 'letsencrypt' in a much easier way... but I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet...

Thanks!
