Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered
-
Recently we bought SSL and moved our site to https. (https://www.kitchenstuff.com) where all link are https even after I see an error "Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered".
Can anyone help me out? What steps can I take to troubleshoot this error?

The good news is that a recent update has been made, and we're ready to accept beta SNI customers to test it out. Please see the article here that explains this further: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni and if you're interested in being a part of the beta testing, the link to the sign up page is here: http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1

I agree! SNI is not just a "totally acceptable security configuration." It's quite common in today's world. We can't just "disable" it as per the suggestion. It's part of our site architecture and it's annoying to have to sort through all the errors in Moz because it's behind the times technologically.
-
When are you going to fix your crawler? SNI is supported by all modern browsers and will be becoming more and more common as services like Lets Encrypt makes it free and easy to implement SSL, as well as Google and Mozilla working towards basically making it mandatory to use SSL on your site.
This issue has been known to Moz for more than a year, its time to step up the game and make sure your crawler supports modern web standards.

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Just as the helpful responses stated before mine, unfortunately at this time our crawler isn't compatible with Server Name Indication (SNI), which appears to be in use on your site (https://www.kitchenstuff.com). In general, SNI is a totally acceptable security configuration, but our crawler simply isn't equipped to be able to handle these settings.
If you are able to disable the SNI configuration on your site, then we should be able to crawl it normally. While it's something that we'd love to be able to accommodate for the future, we don't yet have the resources to be able to make those changes.
Also as mentioned previously by Dirk, this thread in our Community Q&A forum with lots of other users running into the same problem, so it's definitely something we're aware of and working to address: https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error
We're sorry about the trouble & inconvenience this causes.
-
Give the SSL Labs tool a try. If you have a misconfiguration it should help you identify it

Hi,
I had the same issue with my website. As Dirk said, there is an issue with Moz crawling websites that use SNI.
But, double check that with Moz Support team to see whether it is a problem with Moz and not your site.
-
You might want to check this thread https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error - there are possible solutions mentioned in the answers if you scroll towards the bottom of the page
Basically Moz has issues crawling https sites using SNI - which is often use by Cloud Flare (and some other hosts)
"Our current crawl libraries do not support SNI which is typically what is enabled by default by Cloud Flare. Our engineering team is still investigating expanding our libraries but an ETA is not available quite yet."
As far as I know this issues hasn't been solved yet. If the SNI is not the issue - you might want to contact Moz directly (help@moz.com) to take a look at your specific issue.
Hope this helps,
Dirk

Track rank by multiple zip codes, radius, or state?
I work for a hospital that serves patients in multiple states. I'd love to track keywords locally, but entering one town or zip code at a time would take days. Is it possible to track locally by multiple zip codes, by radius, or by states?

We recently switched from HTTP to HTTPS and we are having crawling issues!
We switched our website from HTTP to HTTPS and we started to get an email from Moz about the robots.txt being unable to crawl our website. The website is hosted through wordpress but we haven't had any issues until we switched. We have no idea what to do or even what the problem is! If you have had a similar problem and fixed it, we need your help! Thank you.

Error help for newbie please
Hi, I signed up after seeing the videos on Udemy and YouTube (white board Friday) So I've started the free trial and am looking forward to getting my site ranking higher. I've crawled my site www.sussexchef.com and its come back with the following errors (please see below. 608 I'm sure this information is very important but I have no idea how to fix the 608, I found a robots.txt in my directory and deleted it as I think that maybe the problem? I crawled the site twice by accident so will have to wait till tomorrow to find out? 404 I found it quite hard to find the broken links at first but once I realized all the information I needed was in the table I think I got them all. did I miss a tutorial or am I just a little out of my depth here? 503 I have no idea how to fix these, I can click the links and it takes my to that page or file. so how can it be the server down? Or is this because they are links to PDF's? should i convert them to jpegs and give them meta data? I'd be grateful for any help anyone has to offer as I'm keen to learn how to promote my site better.

High Number of Crawl Errors for Blog
Hello All, We have been having an issue with very high crawl errors on websites that contain blogs. Here is a screenshot of one of the sites we are dealing with: http://cl.ly/image/0i2Q2O100p2v . Looking through the links that are turning up in the crawl errors, the majority of them (roughly 90%) are auto-generated by the blog's system. This includes category/tag links, archived links, etc. A few examples being: http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/ http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/17/ http://www.mysite.com/tagname As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong!), search engines will not penalize you for things like this that appear on auto-generated pages. Also, even if search engines did penalize you, I do not believe we can make a unique meta tag for auto-generate pages. Regardless, our client is very concerned seeing these high number of errors in the reports, even though we have explained the situation to him. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to either 1) tell Moz to ignore these types of errors or 2) adjust the website so that these errors now longer appear in the reports? Thanks so much! Rebecca

Down for me? Or everyone? 504 errors on campaigns and research tools.
Additionally direct emails to help@moz.com don't work and return a permanent failure error. There's also no verification email coming through when using the message form page to contact support, I'm presuming it's emailing the above email but also failing.
