On-Page Grader supporting HTTPS?
-
Hi there,
I am getting the error "Sorry, but this URL is inaccessible" on the Moz On-Page Grader. I have tested with multiple URL's but any that link to my site give the error. I have noticed my site's URL's redirect to https so my question is..is the on-page grader in-compatible with https?
Cheers!

Oh good! I'm glad you were able to find the source!
We actually use a set of dynamic IPs, so there's not a range that I'd be able to provide. I'm afraid the best things I could suggest would be to ask them to whitelist our user agents, dotbot and rogerbot.

Thanks Jordan, it didn't make a difference but what I found was that my hosting company was blocking Amazon Web Services. They said they need a range of IP's from the cloud service that Moz uses to unblock, is there anyway you can advise me on what these are and is Amazon the cloud service that Moz uses?
Cheers!

I would expect that to take care of the issue

I've changed it too:
User-agent: rogerbot
Allow: /
Would this let Moz crawl the site?
-
Hmm I thought that too! It's strange though because my site is being indexed on Google and Moz is able to crawl it for other features. When I run the robots test in Google Webmaster Tools, the one where you run a test to see if URL's are blocked and you pick a bot e.g Googlebot...it says everything is working ok and it is allowed? Wouldn't that not be the case if bots were blocked from crawling the site?
-
Ah, yep, that would do it!
That configuration is currently blocking every bot known to man from accessing every portion of your site. Here's an awesome resource to help with robots.txt setup: http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
If you were looking to allow all robots to access all pages on your site, then this command would do the trick:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
(Without the blank line between commands. Q&A formatting be damned. )

Hi Jordan,
Thanks a million for your response! I am still having the same issue..my robots.txt is as follows:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /Would this be blocking those bots? I know this blocks bots from accessing ALL content, but does it block all bots from accessing my site in general? Should I be changing it and if so, what would you recommend I change to allow for optimal crawling?
Cheers and thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi Ross!
On-Page Grader should definitely function for https sites, in general. For example, https://moz.com looks to be working just fine.If you're getting that response from On-Page Grader, it's usually related to some sort of blockage. I'd recommend checking through your robots.txt to make sure that rogerbot and dotbot aren't being blocked, that your SSL is all looking good, and that the site isn't blocking Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Page Optimization problem in Moz
Hello there, I've been using Moz Pro for a year now, and encountered I've encountered small issues here and there (like some features not working currently, but they start working after a few hours tops) but now I have a bigger issue. Page Optimization feature stopped working and it's dead for five days now. Even my older research is gone. (check the images) Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? It says that the crawler is blocked or the page isn't working, and when I check the pages in other platforms with crawlers it all goes smooth. All of the pages are working, and all of the crawlers (tested even in Google console) are doing fine. I even had the Moz crawler on 04.07.2019 as the standard week crawl and I got the results. Everything else is working just fine, I have a problem with the Page Optimization feature only. Thanks in advance, Ivan Ga4LKkQ

Keyword Count Incorrect In On Page Grader
Hi, I have found that on one site I am working on seems to have issues when i run it through the on page grader. The problem is that it is saying I am showing the main keyword 24 times in the body, but actually it is 12 times. Could there be a problem on the website that is showing something I cant see, or is this a known issue. Thanks

On-Page Grader is not counting H2 and H3 Keywords
I used on-page grader in one of my webpages and it showed the limit of 15 keywords used. The problem is that it counted only when the keyword appears in the Title, URL, Meta Description, H1, Body and IMG ALT. If you take into account the H2 and H3 tags, the count will go to 22. Is there a problem with the On-Page Grader Tool or it's not a problem to go above 15 keywords if they are in H2 and H3? Here's the link for the page: http://www.tororadar.com.br/acoes/bbse3-bb-seguridade/cotacoes-bovespa Keyword: BBSE3 Thanks in advance.

Comparing details of current on-page grade reports with previous reports
Hi Whilst i've set up reporting for on-page grader when it comes through on report it just shows any changes in grade and rank, what i also want to look at is changes in the detail/components of current report compared to previous reports, is this possible historically (over the previous reporting periods) ? There doesn't seem to be any kind of archive that i can find to previously carried out on-page grade report ? Cheers Dan
