Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
-
Hello there,
I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled.
We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working.
Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,
I took a look at your campaign and it looks like Lynn's suggestion that Javascript may be blocking the crawl is correct. Unfortunately, our crawler isn't sophisticated enough to parse Javascript and all of the links from the homepage are hidden within the Javascript navigation so we aren't able to find them to crawl past the homepage. I'm afraid it looks like our crawler isn't compatible with this particular site.
I apologize for the inconvenience this causes! Please let me know if I can help you with anything further.

Thanks!!! I will take a look at the dev blog post

Hi,
It can happen for a number of reasons, in my experience usually due to either unintentional blocking of the page from crawling or from being a JavaScript heavy/only site which doesn't allow content to be easily read by the moz crawler. Check out this dev blog post for a rundown on most issues and solutions. Hope it helps!

How to find a list of pages with missing H1 tags
An external SEO/PPC agency did an audit of our site a little while back and said that over 10% of our pages were missing an H1 tag. I am trying to find a way to gather a full list of these in order for our web company to fix. I downloaded the Crawl Test report thinking it would include info on tags in there but it doesn't seem to. Is there a different tool I can use that will get me this information?

What is Considered Duplicate Content by Crawlers?
I am asking this because I have a couple of site audit tools that I use to crawl a site I work on every week and they are showing duplicate content issues (which I know there is a lot on this site) but some of what is flagged as duplicate content makes no sense. For example, the following URL's were grouped together as duplicate content: | https://www.firefold.com/contact-us | https://www.firefold.com/gabe | https://www.firefold.com/sale | | | How are these pages duplicate content? I am confused on what site audit tools are considering duplicate content. Just FYI, this is data from Moz crawl diagnostics but SEMrush site auditor is giving me the same type of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

Checking Do-follow using Moz Bar
Does anyone know how to check if a link is a do-follow or no-follow using the Moz bar? I believe there's a function that highlights and color codes the link so as to tell? Can't seem to turn this function on in my Moz Bar settings. Am I missing something completely obvious?
