ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE Error

Category: Browser Errors | Platforms: chrome

What This Error Means

The ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE error occurs when the browser blocks a request because the server's response headers (like X-Frame-Options) forbid it. This often happens when trying to embed a site in an iframe.

Common Causes

  • Embedding a site that has `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or `SAMEORIGIN`.
  • Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) security checks.
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) violations.

How to Fix It (For Users)

  1. 1 Open the link in a new tab instead of viewing it embedded.
  2. 2 Disable extensions that might be modifying headers (not recommended).

For Site Owners / Developers

  1. Adjust `X-Frame-Options` header if you want to allow embedding.
  2. Configure Content Security Policy (CSP) to whitelist specific domains.
  3. Check CORS headers for API requests.

When It Is NOT Your Fault

If the site owner intentionally blocks embedding.

Is the website actually down?

Sometimes the issue is just on your end. Check if the website is down for everyone or just you.
