520Web Server Returned an Unknown Error

A content network could not make sense of what your origin server sent back.

Browse all HTTP status codes

When you see it

A catch-all from a content delivery network when the origin returned something empty, malformed, or with headers too large to process. The network is working; the server behind it answered in a way that could not be forwarded.

It is the vaguest of the vendor codes, so the origin server log is the only place the real cause will be recorded.
