On page grader not working with Squarespace?
-
The on page grader tool does not seem to be able to access Squarespace websites. I've tried several website urls that are all hosted on square space with the same result "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." Is this a known incompatibility or a bug?
examples:
lightningjar.agency (a site I manage)
flotrend.com (a site that a friend manages)
ollymoss.com (a site chosen at random from SquareSpace.com featured websites list)

I am receiving crawl errors for squarespace website. Can someone please help. Thanks

Hi, Nicholas and all. I got successful crawl reports starting in early Feb 2016 with the squarespace website I was optimizing. I am no longer working on that website so I cannot go check right now to ensure it is still working. And I do not remember having a problem with the on-page grader. Perhaps if you contact Moz support which is what I did. They responded quickly and kept me informed of progress towards a solution that worked for me.
-
Six months on and this is still not fixed? For what you charge (both Squarespace and Moz) you need to find a solution.

Hi. I am experiencing the same issue. Testing it out on two sites, one responds positively to the workaround mentioned above. The other part does in that the report tells me the page is not accessible in the report and the rest of the report works fine, rather than as a blanket warning.
-
I am getting the same issue - is there a resolve or workaround?
-
Crawl reports for http://www.bedbuglaundryandprep.com are getting 403 errors and a "blocked by robots.txt" error. I contacted squarespace who told me there was a known issue with moz.com that was being worked. Any idea if this will be fixed?
-
The workaround is on our end and it is already in place. I've tested running on-page reports and campaigns for a number of Squarespace sites and I'm not seeing any current issues trying to crawl or access these pages. If you can let me know the URL you are trying to check (or email help@moz.com with the details) I can look into this further for you.
-
Mine works the same way. This is a work around that I can use. Thanks!
-
Thank you Chiaryn,
Is the work around to be done on my end or Moz's? I am still getting "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible."

In all likelihood, this is not related to the Squarespace issue, but actually to the .agency tld. Since pretty much anything can be used as a tld now, but our crawlers were built before this was allowable, we aren't set up to automatically recognize custom tlds. The standalone on-page grader is our oldest and most rudimentary crawler tool, so it is also updated the least frequently.
You can create a campaign for lightningjar.agency with no issue and there you would get on-page grades from our newly updated campaign on-page grader that is much more accurate.
-
I'm still experiencing the same issue when I enter the custom URL I set up in SquareSpace for my website. But after some experimentation I found out the On Page Grader Tool will work if I use the default Square Space system URL.
https://lightning-jar.squarespace.com/ = works
http://www.lightningjar.agency = does not work

I'm so sorry! I didn't see your reply previously. I was just coming back to the thread to say that we have found a temporary workaround that should fix the issue while we work on a more permanent solution. I hope that is still helpful to you and, again, I apologize for not following up with you sooner.
-
Has there been any update to this? My SS sites are getting the same thing still and if this can't be resolved, I'll have to find other solutions.
-
I'm really sorry that you're running into this issue! We recently discovered that Squarespace's automated server systems have blocked our bot from accessing sites they host with a 403 Forbidden status. We are working with them to find a resolution to this block, but I am afraid that I am not certain if or when this will be resolved.
I apologize for the inconvenience this causes! Thank you for bearing with us while we work to get this resolved.

Page Title showing Twice when I check it through Moz Bar
Hello Experts, I have a brand new website. And I know I have to do lot of things and make changes for better SEO. With that in mind, I recently installed Mozbar. I was checking one of my posts the other day and noticed Page Title is appearing twice in Mozbar.Please see the screenshot below. Could you please guide me what could be causing this? FYI, I have installed Yoast SEO Plugin. Also, I can see "Alt Text" is picking lot many words which are from other images or posts...Is there any way to customize that as well? KhP9y

Why is Moz Crawling More Pages Than My Site Actually Has?
Hi I have a site that only has 5k pages but Moz has crawled 50K pages on the site when I initiated the site crawl. I don't exactly know why Moz is reporting me back so many pages but I was wondering why this is and if any of you out in the Moz community know anything about this. Thanks

Moz keyword mention on-page counting errors
Hi. Moz is showing 18 mentions of the keyword 'street furniture' on this landing page https://www.broxap.com/street-furniture.html But I can only count 6 in total in the body copy and 13 if you include navigation links. This is the same on other pages too for that keyword. Does anyone know where it's counting these extra keywords from? I don't want to fall foul of keyword stuffing but as far as I can see we're not! Could Moz be miscalculating? Any help appreciated! Thanks Joe

Moz's on-page grader
Hello, I am having an issue with Moz's on-page grader. Grading the page, http://www.babyklar.dk/tigerspring/26-ugers-springet.html for the keyword 'Tigerspring 26 uger' I am receiving the error message: 'Exact keyword is used in page title' - tagging it as a highly important but easy fix. But I only have the words "Tigerspring 26 uger" in the title, so how can this not grade as Exact keyword? Is there somthing wrong with the system? Or is it me? Thanks very much. Best regards

Keyword Grader & OmniExplorer_Bot Question
I found this in several of my clients Robots.txt "User-Agent: OmniExplorer_Bot Disallow: /" Right now I cannot grade any of them that are on a particular platform that has that written in. Would this block the keyword grader? Thanks!

On-page Grader and Cyrillic keywords
Hi all, I'm trying out the On-page grader and i see "funny" output when it comes to cyrillic keywords. I can see 73 occurrences in the title, 108 in the meta description tag, 34 in the H1 tag, etc. etc... Of course, these are not correct and i've manually checked. I've tested a few other pages in Bulgarian, using Cyrillic kewords... same story 😞 Please, let me know if there's something i'm missing, as this is crucial for my work. Thanks in advance.
