# Cloudflare Error 1015: How to solve it?

Cloudflare Error 1015 is a rate limiting error that occurs when Cloudflare detects that you are exceeding the request limit set by the website owner. This typically happens if you are making a large number of requests in a short period.

## How to solve it?

To resolve Cloudflare Error 1015 you can reduce the frequency of your requests to stay within the allowed limit. Another way to solve it is to use a service like [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev/), which rotates proxies to prevent any single proxy from hitting the rate limit. This approach can help you avoid triggering the Cloudflare 1015 error.
