How to resolve Cloudflare 304 not modified error?

Usually, the HTTP 304 Not Modified client redirection response code indicates that there is no need to retransmit the requested resources.

It is an implicit redirection to a cached resource.

Today, let us discuss about the methods followed by our Support Techs to resolve it:

The HTTP 304 not modified status code indicates a communication problem between a user’s browser and a website’s server.

If you or your users come across this status code on your site, it can block access to your content entirely.

Since it can on the server-side or the client-side, figuring out the source of the problem can take a little work.

• Firstly, clear the Browser’s Cache Data
• Secondly, run a Malware Scan
• Disable Your Browser’s Extensions
• Flush the DNS and Reset the TCP/IP
• Try Using the Google Public DNS

Another potential cause is an incorrect DNS address. Therefore, it’s worth using the Google Public DNS to see if that resolves the problem.

On Windows, you can do this by pressing the Win + R keys. In the Run window that appears, type “ncpa.cpl” into the command box, and then hit Ok.

In the Network Connections window that opens next, locate the network connection you’re using and right-click on it. Next, select Properties.

From there, double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4.

Select the option to “Use the following DNS server addresses”, then enter the value “8.8.8.8” under Preferred and “8.8.4.4” under Alternate

When you’re done, click on Ok. Then restart your system, and try accessing the website again.

To change your DNS server settings using macOS, you would go to Apple > System Preferences > Network.

In the window that opens, select your connection, then click on Advanced followed by the DNS tab:

Click the + icon next to the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, to replace the existing addresses with the Google Public IPs.

• Check Your Server Configuration Files for Incorrect Redirect Instructions

The process for checking your server configuration files depends on whether you’re using Nginx or Apache.

At Kinsta, we use the Nginx web server. So if you’re a Kinsta user, you won’t have access to the .htaccess file that Apache users do.

However, you can still perform similar functions.

For example, after logging in to MyKinsta, you can check the Analytics > Response section of the dashboard for a breakdown of response codes and redirects.
