Blocked External Resource in Robots.txt

[ARama]

 Hello,

I am getting an error that states "issues with blocked external resources in robots.txt." in SEMRush

The resource URL that is causing it is: 

https://hubspotonwebflow.com/assets/js/form-124.js

Can you help me how can I fix this?

Hey @ARama -- how is your form embedded on this page? Often we see this error if you are not using our standard embedded forms. Often while using an integration with HubSpot and Webflow. 

If that is the case, I recommend embedding the form on the page using HubSpot form embed code. You would copy the embed code from the form editor, and add it to your page without modifying it.

Please let me know if I did not understand your questions or if you need additional clarification! 

Best,
Kennedy

Hi, thank you for your reply. We actually use the HubSpot form embed code. We did setup the code from HubSpot in webflow.

Hello @ARama 

You should check robots.txt on Webflow (hubspotonwebflow.com). Ensure that this JavaScript file is not being blocked. Look for any Disallow rules related to /assets/ or similar paths and remove the block for that file if present. If you find that this file is blocked, modify the robots.txt file to allow it.

After updating robots.txt, clear your site cache and revalidate the site in SEMRush to check if the issue persists. By ensuring the file is not blocked in robots.txt, SEMRush should no longer flag this resource as an issue.

Hope it will be useful for you

It doesn't seem to be this the issue. Since the URL is from hubspot form
