If you own the website, check your server's file and directory permissions. Ensure the web server user (e.g., www-data on Linux) has the necessary read and execute permissions for the files and directories in question. Review your .htaccess file (if using Apache) for any rules that might be causing the 403. Verify that access control lists (ACLs) are correctly configured. Also confirm that any authentication mechanisms are functioning correctly.
