🔍 Overview

If you see a Script Unreachable status in your OTTO SEO dashboard even though your whitelabel domain appears to be correctly configured, there is likely a misconfiguration in your DNS, CNAME, or redirect settings that is preventing the OTTO script from loading. This article walks you through the most common causes and how to fix them.

⚙️ Why This Happens

The OTTO script is served through your whitelabel domain. If the domain is not resolving correctly, the script cannot be reached — even if the domain settings look correct inside Search Atlas. Common root causes include:

  • CNAME target mismatch: Your DNS provider is pointing to an outdated or incorrect target hostname.
  • Redirect loop: Your whitelabel URL is returning ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, which blocks the script from loading.
  • DNS propagation delay: Recent changes to your DNS records have not yet fully propagated across all servers.
  • False unreachable status: In some cases, the platform may incorrectly report the script as unreachable even when it is accessible. This is a known issue that has been resolved in recent updates.

🗺️ Step 1 — Verify Your Whitelabel Domain Settings

  1. In Search Atlas, go to More Features → Agency Whitelabel (URL: /agency-settings).
  2. Under White Label Setup, confirm that your custom domain is entered correctly with no trailing slashes or typos.
  3. Note the CNAME target value shown in the platform — this is the exact hostname your DNS record must point to.

🌐 Step 2 — Check Your DNS CNAME Record

  1. Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider (for example, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or Namecheap).
  2. Locate the CNAME record for your whitelabel subdomain (for example, seo.youragency.com).
  3. Confirm that the Value or Points to field matches exactly the CNAME target shown in Search Atlas. Even a small difference — such as a missing subdomain segment or an extra character — will cause a mismatch and break the script.
  4. If the values do not match, update the CNAME record to use the correct target provided in the platform.
  5. Allow up to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate, though most updates take effect within a few hours.

🔄 Step 3 — Check for Redirect Loops

A redirect loop on your whitelabel domain will prevent the OTTO script from loading entirely. To check for this:

  1. Open a new browser tab and navigate directly to your whitelabel domain URL.
  2. If the browser shows an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error, there is a redirect conflict in your DNS or hosting configuration.
  3. Common causes include forcing HTTPS at both the DNS level and the hosting level simultaneously, or conflicting redirect rules in your .htaccess file or server configuration.
  4. Disable any duplicate redirect rules and ensure HTTPS is enforced at only one layer.

✅ Step 4 — Recheck the Script Status in OTTO

  1. After updating your DNS or redirect settings, go to Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Installation Guide.
  2. Click Continue installation to trigger a fresh script status check.
  3. If the status still shows Script Unreachable after DNS has propagated and your settings are correct, the platform may be reporting a false status. Proceed to the next step.

🔎 Step 5 — Manually Verify the Script Is Accessible

You can independently confirm whether the script is actually reachable before escalating:

  1. Open your browser's developer tools (press F12 or right-click the page and select Inspect).
  2. Go to the Network tab and reload your website.
  3. Search for the OTTO script URL in the network requests. If it returns a 200 OK status, the script is loading correctly and the unreachable warning may be a display error that will clear on its own.
  4. If the script request fails or returns an error code, the misconfiguration is confirmed and you should review Steps 2 and 3 again.

💡 Quick Reference — Common Issues and Fixes

  • CNAME target mismatch: Update your DNS CNAME record to match the exact target shown in More Features → Agency Hub (Agency Whitelabel).
  • ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS: Remove duplicate HTTPS redirect rules from your DNS and server configuration.
  • Script unreachable after correct setup: Wait for DNS propagation and use browser dev tools to verify the script loads with a 200 status.
  • False unreachable status in the dashboard: If the script is confirmed accessible via dev tools, the status should update automatically. If it does not, contact support.
