Certainly, I understand your concern about MOZ only crawling the homepage of your website despite adding it correctly and requesting a full crawl of all pages. It's frustrating when testing a tool before subscribing, and not getting the expected results can raise doubts about its functionality. To address this issue, I recommend double-checking your website's settings within the MOZ platform. Ensure that the website URL provided matches the actual structure of your site and that there are no typos or errors in the input. Additionally, review MOZ's documentation or contact their customer support to confirm if there are specific settings or configurations needed for a comprehensive crawl. Sometimes, minor adjustments in the tool's settings or the website's structure can make a significant difference in the crawling process. I hope this helps, and I wish you success in resolving this matter and making an informed decision about your subscription. -
Crawling only the home page of your website is a common practice in web indexing and search engine optimization. This approach allows search engine bots to focus on your site's main landing page, ensuring that it's properly indexed and ranked. Here's how you can specify that only the home page should be crawled:
Robots.txt File,
Canonical Tag
Sitemap.xml,
Noindex Tags,
Meta Robots TagBy implementing these methods, you can direct search engine crawlers to focus primarily on your website's home page, ensuring that it receives the most attention in terms of indexing and ranking. This can be particularly useful if your home page is the most important and relevant page for your website's SEO strategy.

Hello,
There could be several reasons why MOZ is only crawling the homepage of your website, https://www.modelos-de-curriculum.com. Here are a few possibilities:
Robots.txt file: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it's not blocking MOZ's web crawlers from accessing other pages. Make sure there are no disallow rules that could restrict access to certain areas of your site.
Nofollow tags: Ensure that your website doesn't have "nofollow" tags on internal links that may be preventing MOZ from following and crawling those links.
JavaScript: If your website heavily relies on JavaScript for content rendering, MOZ may face difficulty crawling the content. Ensure that important content is accessible without JavaScript.
Canonical tags: Check for canonical tags in your website's HTML. If you have specified the homepage as the canonical page for all other pages, this could limit MOZ's ability to crawl additional pages.
Site structure: MOZ may have trouble crawling pages with complex or unconventional site structures. Ensure that your website follows standard navigation and linking practices.
Crawl settings: Double-check the settings in your MOZ account to confirm that you have requested a full site crawl, not just the homepage.
If you've verified all these aspects and MOZ is still not crawling your website correctly, you may want to reach out to their support team for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your account and settings.
Testing the tool before subscribing is a wise approach to ensure it meets your needs. I recommend contacting MOZ's support for personalized assistance in resolving the crawling issue with your website. (PMP Exam Prep) (Canada PR) (Study abroad) (Project Management Life Cycle)

Hello,
The reason Moz is only crawling the homepage of your website could be due to various factors. Here are a few possibilities:
Robots.txt File: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it doesn't block search engine crawlers from accessing specific pages.
Meta Robots Tags: Make sure there are no "noindex" meta tags on your internal pages that might prevent them from being indexed.
Crawl Restrictions: Moz may not have had enough time to crawl all the pages on your website. It might take some time for the tool to explore and index your entire site.
Sitemap: Ensure that your website's sitemap is correctly submitted to Moz. A sitemap helps search engines find and index all the pages on your site.
Internal Linking: Check if there are internal links from your homepage to other pages. A lack of internal links can make it harder for search engines to discover and crawl your site.
Access Permissions: Make sure there are no access restrictions or password protection on certain pages.
To resolve this issue and ensure Moz crawls all the pages of your website, consider checking and addressing these factors. If the problem persists, it might be helpful to reach out to Moz's customer support for specific assistance with your subscription trial.

GoogleBot still crawling HTTP/1.1 years after website moved to HTTP/2
Whole website moved to https://www. HTTP/2 version 3 years ago. When we review log files, it is clear that - for the home page - GoogleBot continues to only access via HTTP/1.1 protocol Robots file is correct (simply allowing all and referring to https://www. sitemap Sitemap is referencing https://www. pages including homepage Hosting provider has confirmed server is correctly configured to support HTTP/2 and provided evidence of accessing via HTTP/2 working 301 redirects set up for non-secure and non-www versions of website all to https://www. version Not using a CDN or proxy GSC reports home page as correctly indexed (with https://www. version canonicalised) but does still have the non-secure version of website as the referring page in the Discovery section. GSC also reports homepage as being crawled every day or so. Totally understand it can take time to update index, but we are at a complete loss to understand why GoogleBot continues to only go through HTTP/1.1 version not 2 Possibly related issue - and of course what is causing concern - is that new pages of site seem to index and perform well in SERP ... except home page. This never makes it to page 1 (other than for brand name) despite rating multiples higher in terms of content, speed etc than other pages which still get indexed in preference to home page. Any thoughts, further tests, ideas, direction or anything will be much appreciated!

Crawl still in process for 3 days. Not sure why the site isn't being crawled
I added a new site to the crawl, but it seems to be stalled. It was supposed to crawl Feb 19, but it is still in process Feb 22. It tried to crawl the site and there was a robots.txt issue, but that issue was resolved way before the 19th. Not sure what is going on. this is for the clear lake campaign.

Crawling issue
Hello,
Product Support | | Benjamien
I have added the campaign IJsfabriek Strombeek (ijsfabriekstrombeek.be) to my account. After the website had been crawled, it showed only 2 crawled pages, but this site has over 500 pages. It is divided into four versions: a Dutch, French, English and German version. I thought that could be the issue because I only filled in the root domain ijsfabriekstrombeek.be , so I created another campaign with the name ijsfabriekstrombeek with the url ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl . When MOZ crawled this one, I got the following remark:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Feb 21, 2018. **Your page redirects or links to a page that is outside of the scope of your campaign settings. Your campaign is limited to pages with ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl in the URL path, which prevents us from crawling through the redirect or the links on your page. To enable a full crawl of your site, you may need to create a new campaign with a broader scope, adjust your redirects, or add links to other pages that include ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have checked the robots.txt and that is fine. There are also no robots meta tags in the code, so what can be the problem? I really need to see an overview of all the pages on the website, so I can use MOZ for the reason that I prescribed, being SEO improvement. Please come back to me soon. Is there a possibility that I can see someone sort out this issue through 'Join me'? Thanks0 -
Is is possible to revert reporting to a past crawl date?
Site Crawl report defaults to the last crawl. Is there a way to get data from a previous crawl for comparison?

But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.
