Understanding the 403 Error from CloudFront

A 403 ERROR from CloudFront indicates your request was denied. This typically happens when accessing a website that uses CloudFront, such as an e-commerce site or a web application. The server cannot locate the resource you’re requesting, and browsers block such requests to comply with Content Security Policy (CSP) rules unless CSP is relaxed.

Possible causes include:
1. **Request Blockage**: If the browser blocks your request due to CSP settings, ensure your browser’s CSP is enabled if you need unrestricted access.
2. **Traffic or Configuration Issues**: High traffic or server misconfiguration can temporarily cause 403 errors. Monitor your server logs for any unusual activity.

To troubleshoot:
– **Static Websites**: For non-dynamic sites, contact the website owner to fix broken URLs.
– **Dynamic Content**: If using CloudFront with S3 buckets, verify bucket ownership and permissions in AWS Config.

For more assistance, consult CloudFront documentation or reach out to your website provider for support tailored to your setup.
