What is Moz's Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath HTTP Status 302 error message?
-
Hi,
I am not sure what this error message is: "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath". It immediately follows pages that are given at 302 status in Moz's crawl report.
The same pages have never had this error before:
| http://www.homedestination.com/news/2013/Minneapolis-home-price-appreciation.html |
| http://www.homedestination.com/mortgage-worksheet.html |
| http://www.homedestination.com/foreclosure-eligibility.html |
Each page has a 100% score with WC3. Could you give me more insight as to what Moz may suggest I do to give the page a 200 HTTP status as before?
Thanks.
-
Thanks for your superb help walking through this.
I am thankful for the random error as I learned more valuable information about the Moz platform.
-
Awesome to hear!
As for other tools to measure traffic drops we don't have any but I recommend creating a new post on the Q&A as our community may be able to provide some tips
-
Several test now and no sign of the error again.
-
The latest Moz crawl returns a normal http status for the four pages.
I can only conclude that this was a one-off misread "somewhere".
As my traffic has dropped and I cannot determine just why, is there another tool or Moz resource that may help me gain better insights?
Backlinks to the site and social shares are both up.
-
Which highlights how very helpful the Moz Crawl Test Tool is. I use it often. I really appreciate Moz offering this tool.
Waiting for the new results....

Hi Jessential
Changes to a page don't always affect HTTP requests. In some cases these errors can be ignored as they can be a one time occurrence. The best way to isolate any web server issue is if the errors are consistent. If you do not see the errors in the latest crawl then you are all set. If the same errors appear then it will have to be investigated by the hosting provider. The only way for our crawl to create entires in a report is from a server response. If our crawler fails, there will not be a report available which is something we would address on our side. The crawler is working as intended.

Hi David,
The web developer cannot find any cause nor has made changes on the pages that would generate this intermittent error.
The web host says there is no recognizable cause for the error on the server, that MOZ is a third party tool, and that we should ask them (you).
With a fresh day ahead and a cleared Moz cache, I am rerunning the Moz crawl test tool.
-
The link is just an example to show you how the error is from a web server so it's not specific to your issue. Our crawler cannot generate error codes, only webservers can, so any codes or paths you see are what was returned to us during the crawl. You would have to reach out to your web developer or hosting provider to check your server configuration for any errors that appear in your reports.
-
The link provided relates to a 404 error. All four of these pages exist and have never had a 404 error.
Wish we could find some answers as to why Moz threw this "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath" this one time out of many successful Moz app crawls on the same page.
-
Anytime Jessential
For the "aspxerrorpath" error is something returned by the web server. You would have to consult your web developer to isolate any possible issues from the host. It is not a Moz error code.
Here is someone not related to Moz that has experienced the error: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4222226/how-to-prevent-aspxerrorpath-passed-as-a-query-string-in-asp-net-error-pages-t
Hope this helps!

Hi David,
Thanks for the helpful answer about how MOZ tools cache.
However, does my question as to "what this MOZ error message is: "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath" have no answer?
NOTE: The pages are not missing. As stated above, "Oddly, these 4 web pages are not under a "Moved Temporarily" status that I know of. I have doubled checked the pages with Screaming Frog, Image and Link Analyzer, and Xenu and cannot find a differentiating error on them."
I am trying to understand precisely why and what error MOZ is saying they have. Could you please explain what MOZ means by saying these four pages have "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath"?
My secondary question is, since the pages do in fact exist, is MOZ seeing something that keeps the existing pages from being indexed? However, I have answered that secondary question. All four of the pages that MOZ gives a 302 http statues with the "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath" are indexed by Google.

Hi Jessential
Your browser cache is not connected with how you view your crawl report. The cache will be for our backend. The crawl test tool and Moz app crawls store data separately so your Moz app crawl will be newer than the previous crawl test or current. Our cache for the crawl test should be cleared to update tomorrow just to be safe
I'm afraid if we can't find pages we won't know what they are to list them. The best way to know is to keep a copy of your full csv to compare results with for missing pages.
Hope this helps!

Hi David,
The newest crawl was released shortly after our last comments. Would it help if I cleared my cache? Or used another browser?
Does Moz have a tool to help me see which pages/posts that are not being indexed?
-
Thank you. I look forward to the new crawl and your follow-up with this error.
I have updated the site to Universal Google Analytics so have had no page views or moz activity to help me diagnose errors lately.
Moz has become a mainstay for me!
-
Hi Jessential
It appears our crawler may have had issues accessing those pages on your web-server. I would take a look at the newest crawl that will complete later today. For the crawl test wait another 24 hours which will give time for the cache to clear.
Hope this helps!

You will find both reports here:

Hi Jessential
I re-downloaded your full crawl diagnostics report for Home Destination and cannot find the 302 errors. The latest crawl is from April 22nd with a current crawl in progress. Is there another report you are referring to?
-
Hi David,
Thanks for you interest in helping me decipher this error.
In the April 28th report, you will find the error in lines 100, 108, 111 and 443; each line immediately follows a 302 http. Oddly, these 4 web pages are not under a "Moved Temporarily" status that I know of. I have doubled checked the pages with Screaming Frog, Image and Link Analyzer, and Xenu and cannot find a differentiating error on them.
If you review the April 18th report of the same pages, found in lines 99, 107, and 435 were not indicated in such a manner. (The fourth page did not exist at that time.
Oddly, several pages have been dropped from Google's index and I have yet to determine why or which ones.
Your insights are appreciated.

Hi Jessential
I have never seen that error before. Can you tell me where you see it in your campaign? I took a look at your crawl csv for homedestination and could not see that error.

Frequency of Moz page authority updates?
I have some new pages on my site, and Moz gives them a very low PA ranking. I am wondering if these scores are updated monthly or quarterly? I'm not sure how frequently to check back for updated scoring.

MOZ Bar recognizes a link as No-Followed even when there's no evidence of nofollow nor external tag
Hi! I've seen that the Moz bar recognizes some links as NoFollowed, even when technically are followed.
API | | Gaston Riera
One example of that is this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTraining I've attached an image to clarify.
The link is just: <a class="https" <span="">href="https://rmotr.com"> there is no evidence of no following tag (such as external, nofollow, etc). Thanks!

September's Mozscape Update Broke; We're Building a New Index
Hey gang, I hate to write to you all again with more bad news, but such is life. Our big data team produced an index this week but, upon analysis, found that our crawlers had encountered a massive number of non-200 URLs, which meant this index was not only smaller, but also weirdly biased. PA and DA scores were way off, coverage of the right URLs went haywire, and our metrics that we use to gauge quality told us this index simply was not good enough to launch. Thus, we're in the process of rebuilding an index as fast as possible, but this takes, at minimum 19-20 days, and may take as long as 30 days. This sucks. There's no excuse. We need to do better and we owe all of you and all of the folks who use Mozscape better, more reliable updates. I'm embarassed and so is the team. We all want to deliver the best product, but continue to find problems we didn't account for, and have to go back and build systems in our software to look for them. In the spirit of transparency (not as an excuse), the problem appears to be a large number of new subdomains that found their way into our crawlers and exposed us to issues fetching robots.txt files that timed out and stalled our crawlers. In addition, some new portions of the link graph we crawled exposed us to websites/pages that we need to find ways to exclude, as these abuse our metrics for prioritizing crawls (aka PageRank, much like Google, but they're obviously much more sophisticated and experienced with this) and bias us to junky stuff which keeps us from getting to the good stuff we need. We have dozens of ideas to fix this, and we've managed to fix problems like this in the past (prior issues like .cn domains overwhelming our index, link wheels and webspam holes, etc plagued us and have been addressed, but every couple indices it seems we face a new challenge like this). Our biggest issue is one of monitoring and processing times. We don't see what's in a web index until it's finished processing, which means we don't know if we're building a good index until it's done. It's a lot of work to re-build the processing system so there can be visibility at checkpoints, but that appears to be necessary right now. Unfortunately, it takes time away from building the new, realtime version of our index (which is what we really want to finish and launch!). Such is the frustration of trying to tweak an old system while simultaneously working on a new, better one. Tradeoffs have to be made. For now, we're prioritizing fixing the old Mozscape system, getting a new index out as soon as possible, and then working to improve visibility and our crawl rules. I'm happy to answer any and all questions, and you have my deep, regretful apologies for once again letting you down. We will continue to do everything in our power to improve and fix these ongoing problems.

In lue of the canceled Moz Index update
Hey Moz, Overall we love your product and are using it daily to help us grow, part of that has been to rely on the Moz Index for DA and PA as well as places where we are doing positive linking through genuine partnerships and reviews of clients. We were really excited to see any the results for this month as we have been partner linked from lots of high reputation sites and google seems to agree as our rankings are moving up weekly. The question from our marketing team is, since a significant part of Moz will not be available to us this month, will there be any compensation handed out to the paying community. PS: I am an engineer and I know how you have probably lost a very large set of data which cant simply be re-crawled over night but Moz Pro is not a cheap product and we do expect it to work. Source: https://moz.com/products/api/updates Kind Regards.

I REALLY need some help with Moz Reporting
Hey Moz Community, I really need someone to help me with Moz reporting. Let's say I have 10 websites on my campaign dashboard. Is there an API or settings in campaign where I can generate a Moz report that has all 10 campaigns into one high level report? Right now I can generate 1 report per 1 website and the plan is to make it more easier to digest the information and have all the information for all 10 campaigns in just 1 report. Is that even possible? Thank you in advance!
