We are running Gtranslate Startup noticed recently that visitors (and Google bots) will receive intermittent 403 Errors (Access Denied). Our system setup is: Wordpress 4.98 running on Windows IIS server. GTranslate Startup (paid) in subdirectories.
The problem can be reproduced specifically by switching between languages. For instance, going from our homepage http://www.finishlynx.com, clicking on the Spanish flag to http://www.finishlynx.com/es/, navigating to a new page, and then switching languages again. It's almost as if visitors are being rate limited. This dramatically affecting our international search and can hopefully get this fixed soon. According to Google Webmasters, the issue seems to have started on September 20th and seems to be getting worse.
Thank you.
