QuoteWordfence has limited your access to this site
Your access to this service has been temporarily limited. Please try again in a few minutes. (HTTP response code 503)
Reason: Exceeded the maximum global requests per minute for crawlers or humans.
Important note for site admins: If you are the administrator of this website note that your access has been limited because you broke one of the Wordfence firewall rules. The reason you access was limited is: "Exceeded the maximum global requests per minute for crawlers or humans.". If this is a false positive, meaning that your access to your own site has been limited incorrectly, then you will need to regain access to your site, go to the Wordfence "options" page, go to the section for Firewall Rules and disable the rule that caused you to be blocked. For example, if you were blocked because it was detected that you are a fake Google crawler, then disable the rule that blocks fake google crawlers. Or if you were blocked because you were accessing your site too quickly, then increase the number of accesses allowed per minute. If you're still having trouble, then simply disable the Wordfence firwall and you will still benefit from the other security features that Wordfence provides. You will find instructions below on how to regain access if you are a site administrator.

I'd back Walter to take out 'Pudsley' any day.
First time I've been able to get on in a while.

A few times, CC Dude, but only for a few minutes. This is our concern, fellow admins and dudes.
sorry about this, fellers. it seems to be a conflict between wordfence (a security program) and the caching plugin. i was primarily hearing from people in europe who were having this problem but i guess it's in the states as well. it finally happened to me as well for the first time. i can't figure out why it's happening. bummer man, that's a bummer. i don't want to have to disable wordfence - it really keeps the hackers away.
by the way, you can always access other pages in the site apparently - just the homepage is affected it seems. i could be wrong about that though.

I get the denied access if I click on the link here or the one I have bookmarked in my browser, but I can get right in if I do a search for Dudeism and click on a page link in the search window.
Not sure why that works? 8)

No worries, Forumdude; when it tanks for a while, I just get me a lane and abide; a few beers, a few burgers, well, you know the rest...troubles are over, dude. 8)

Is the site so busy that caching can't be disabled until the bug is fixed? Just a curiosity, not a recommendation. I'm not a WP guru... There's only one line in wordfence that knows how to make the error message we're seeing, and I chased it back toward its origin but not all the way because PHP makes my eyes bleed. I'm sure fellers much wiser'n myself know more about it than I do.
Here I go ramblin' again, and I've not had any mind altering substances in days. Maybe that's the problem.
caching could be disabled but i still wouldn't know how to fix it. i guess i could hire someone to debug. are you guys still getting the lockout error?

No, not where I am, dude.

If the problem persists and you'd like for me to take a look at it, I'll be coming into my weekend at 11AM MDT on Thursday and can throw some gratis time your way as a token of my appreciation for you letting me park my ass on your virtual rug. I'm not a WordPress guru but I know all of the technology it's built with, and the world seems lately to want me to become a WP guru so I'll probably be futzing around with the thing (here, of course) anyway soon enough. It seems our interests may be aligned.
Feel free to pluck my email address out of the database and get in touch if that's something you'd be inclined to do.
I think maybe i fixed it? There was an ambiguous setting on the wordfence options page. Let me know if anyone is still getting the error via the contact page: www.dudeism.com/contact (http://www.dudeism.com/contact). thankie!
