# Too Many Requests

 * Noticed on multiple individual sites over the past week or so, when accessing
   the dashboard and in some cases when making it to the dashboard but attempting
   to clear cache a red bar at the bottom shows a very generic message:
 * “Too Many Requests”
 * Searching this on the internet or the Cloudflare website doesn’t provide much
   clarity.
 * Often if I try again a few moments later, everything works as expected again.

 * Hey Philip,
 * This (outside of Cloudflare) can often be because of some rewrite issues on the
   origin host, you may want to check the .htaccess of nginx.conf for the sites.
 * It could also be an intermittent issue on CF, personally I haven’t seen this 
   on any sites.

 * Hi blindpet,
 * Thanks for the suggestion. Most .htaccess is pretty basic.
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * I should note that most of these sites have been using the same Cloudflare setup
   for a fairly long time, some well over a year or longer and only recently started
   behaving this way.
 * Also, some are apache, some are nginx which leads me to think it’s not likely
   the environment but I’m open to all ideas, thanks again!
 * I also see this in the console:
 * `Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #/home` in load-scripts.
   php
 * The url is: `.../wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cloudflare#/home`
 * Looking at the console log messages I can also see a `ZONES_FETCH_ERROR` with`
   error:undefined` after a successful `CONFIG_FETCH` sourcing from `/cloudflare/
   compiled.js`.
 * Immediately after the fetch error is the `NOTIFICATION_ADD` which presents the“
   Too Many Requests” message.

 * I am using CloudFlare Free SSL and redirect from HTTP to HTTPS takes a lot of
   time on my website [AQUALYRICS](https://www.aqualyrics.com/) . What could be 
   done make the redirect less time consuming. Thanks
