    Why Does My Linux Server Return “429 Too Many Requests” When Serving a Webs

    Hey everyone,

    I’m new to server management, and my Linux server keeps returning a “429 Too Many Requests” error when serving my website. I’m not sure why this is happening. Could it be a server configuration issue or something else?

    I’m using Apache/Nginx, and I don’t think my site gets too much traffic. How can I check what’s causing this and fix it? Any beginner-friendly guidance would be really helpful!

      It can be the website or the server. Start testing with a basic website of just 1 HTML-page and nothing more.

      – If this gives the same message, it’s definitely the server.
      – It this works OK copy your website to a test website, and gradually make it simpler and simpler until it doesn’t give this message any more. That might give a good idea where to look for the cause.

      Did you study the log-files to see if they contain useful information about the issue? That’s what log-files are for.
