I am getting a lot of 430 errors being flagged by my SEO software on my Shopify+ website. Has anyone else encountered this on Shopify and how did you resolve it?
Topic summary
Main issue: Many HTTP 430 errors flagged by an SEO tool on a Shopify Plus storefront. The errors appear during site checks.
Cause explained: A 430 status indicates the server is refusing to process requests because too many HTTP requests hit the API (application programming interface) in quick succession. This commonly happens during web crawling or when a store operator is actively testing the site.
Recommended mitigation: Reduce request burstiness by increasing the time window between requests. Concretely, raise the allowed limit for maximum HTTP requests over a given period, or throttle/slow the SEO crawler so requests are spread out.
References: A linked source describes 430 behavior and rate-related refusal.
Attachments: An image shows the error report, but the core explanation is textual.
Status: No confirmed resolution from the original poster yet. The proposed action is to adjust rate limits or crawl pacing to prevent 430 responses.
@BlueShark1
When the 430 status code is received, the server is refusing to process the HTTP request because too many HTTP requests are made to the API in too close a succession. This error has been reported during web crawling events, such as when a store operator is testing their site. It can be avoided and solved by increasing the limit on the maximum number of HTTP requests over a given time.
