I have been in contact with them off an on for the month and this problem is getting worse. I’ve been kicked off my site 3 times today. the first time came with in the first hour of working on the site. After switching back to incogneto mode I got kicked twice more. This platform has become unusable.
Topic summary
Recurring “Page is temporarily unavailable” blocks are impacting multiple Shopify stores and customers, reportedly increasing over the past weeks and affecting sales. Users say shoppers are blocked after 10–20 clicks and sometimes face repeated CAPTCHAs across browsers and devices.
Shopify staff attributes the error to anti‑abuse limits triggered by “too many requests” from a single IP/network, suggesting: test incognito/disable extensions, try another browser, isolate devices on the network, and investigate Cloudflare/VPN usage that can mask all visitors as one IP. They direct merchants to contact Support (Store Settings > Domains > Other) for account‑specific investigation.
Merchants dispute the cause, noting it began after a recent update, occurs for diverse customers (including universities), and persists without stress‑testing or unusual device counts. Some report worsening frequency and inadequate support.
Community suggestions: possible 430 response tied to bot‑like or repetitive testing; use shopify-debug.com to compare local/public IP; disable/greylist Cloudflare/VPN; review new frontend apps; reduce repetitive actions from one network.
Status: unresolved/ongoing. Key actions: audit domain/CDN/VPN settings, check for bot traffic or scripts, stagger internal access, and escalate with Shopify Support referencing affected IPs and timestamps.
