@sunshineman1970 I have solved it by creating a WAF custom rule that skips the user agent

"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)"

and the IP address that was getting blocked

 

you can also create WAF exceptions by Cloudflare's guide

I have the same issue, Bing is not indexing all of my site pages, although my site speed is very good. 

 

I have following instructions by Bing

1. These pages have 400-499 http status code. Ensuring http status 200 might help improve SERP performance and gain user traffic.

 

2.   Urls with these errors may be fixed by updating your site

 

I did both steps and checked my site speed with  Gtmetrix and PageSpeed Insights, the results and better then many sites that are indexed on Bing.

 

I am mentioning my site URL (If allowed) https://techsaa.com Please check it and help me. I need some easy instructions. 

 

Thanks 

 
 

We have the same issue with Conferfly and the blog.

@idanins Same happened with my site dunebuggydubai.

I tried asking everyone, from quora too. Did You find any solution?

I manage a website focused on Wendy's menu and recently added it to Bing Webmaster

We Have Similar Issue on Our Website All Tech Nerd 

At First it was cloudflare which was blocking the bots, but event after fixing it there are crawling issue.

Any Solutions??
