I get a - 'Temporarily unreachable' error message when I 'Fetch as Google' Any ideas please??

[MissThumann]

I wanted to Fetch this page and got this error from Google - Temporarily unreachable.  I've never had this issue before??

I checked another page and it came back as 'Complete', so no problems there?

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Are you still having this issue? It certainly looks as though Googlebot managed to cache your page on May 9 (a day after you posted this question), so it may genuinely have been a temporary outage. (See the May 9 cached copy here).

Your robots.txt file looks fine, so if you are still getting the "temporarily unreachable" issue, it's likely because your server is blocking the IP address Google is using for the Fetch and Render tool. Google uses a lot of different IP addresses for crawling, so even though we know Google has crawled and indexed your page, it could be for whatever reason that the IP address used for the fetch and render tool is being blocked.

If that is the case, the solution depends on your hosting setup. You could contact your web host or server administrator, and ask them to confirm that your firewall isn't blocking IP addresses that belong to Google.
