Why is Moz Crawl Diagnostics labelling pages as duplicate when they appear to be different?
-
Moz Crawl Diagnostics is flagging some pages on the Doorfit website as duplicate, yet the page content is completely different and not identical.
Example.
Page: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/locks-security/secondary-security
Duplicate: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/seals-and-sealants?cat=279
Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be the case?
Thanks

I think that it is a good possibility. I wouldn't put Canonical tags on the product page however. The product page isn't the same as the category page, the html coding is just very similar between the two.

Thanks for the answer!
Do you think this might be the case for this example as well?
-
I would add some content to these pages. When you look at the source code of those pages the html coding is almost identical. That is most likely what is causing the duplicate content error. There is no text to html ratio, it is all html coding.

Unsolved Looking for Moz Academy invoices
Hello, in December 2023, I purchased courses at the Moz Academy. To get my administration in order, I would like to have the invoices for these. Unfortunately, I can't find them anywhere. Would anyone know where I should look? The invoices from the Moz Academy are not among the invoices for the Moz subscription.

Why does Moz see short Russian & Chinese urls as too long
We are translating content into Russian and Chinese on our website, the number of errors are increasing mainly around URL too long, each time we create a page with a Chinese or Russian url. If you click on the link below for a Chinese content page: https://www.westbourneschool.com/zh-hans/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E5%8F%8A%E5%AF%84%E5%AE%BF%E5%AE%B6%E5%BA%AD/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB You will notice the url displayed by the browser is actually not very long, is there a way for MOZ not to see it as it appears above? Below is a page in Russian https://www.westbourneschool.com/ru/%D0%A8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0%20%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5 Any help will be much appreciated.

Crawl Limit Question
I'm a little confused as to how the crawl limit works. Since there seems to be a 10K per week max, the crawl limit can't be per week, so what is the time period? Also, does that include crawling sites entered as competitors? Right now I'm at 14/25 sites and most of them are under 1,000 pages so I'm not sure how I hit that limit (other than a one-time spike of 28,000 in November).
