Hi All,

Greetings for the day !!!

Today new small issue and resolution !

Background :

• Suddenly our SharePoint Online Intranet site home page stopped working
• We are getting an error – “Access to this Web site has been blocked”
• When we tested other pages we realise that our other pages and system pages are working
• One observation is – pages on which we have custom client side components (SPFx WebParts / Extensions) – those pages are breaking – same error – “Access to this Web site has been blocked”
• After some time we also realise that we also couldn’t add the app to any site
• This behavior is happening for all sites – existing sites, recently created sites or even new sites which we are creating
• Since we have 80,000 + users this issue become very critical for us

Issue :

• Whenever we try to access the pages where we have custom client side components getting an below error OR whenever we try to add app on any site

Sorry, something went wrong
