Crawl error robots.txt
-
Hello, when trying to access the site crawl to be able to analyze our page, the following error appears:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Nov 15, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.
Can help us?
Thanks!

@Linda-Vassily yes

The page is: https://frizzant.com/ And don't have noindex

Thanks Lind and Tawny! i 'll check it

Hey there!
This is a tricky one — the answer to these questions is almost always specific to the site and the Campaign. For this Campaign, it looks like your robots.txt file returned a 403 forbidden response to our crawler: https://www.screencast.com/t/f42TiSKp
Do you use any kind of DDOS protection software? That can give our tools trouble and cause us to be unable to access the robots.txt file for your site.
I'd recommend checking with your web developer to make sure that your robots.txt file is accessible to our user-agent, rogerbot, and returning a 200 OK status for that user-agent. If you're still having trouble, it'll be easier to assist you if you contact us through help@moz.com, where we can take a closer look at your account and Campaign directly.

I just popped that into ScreamingFrog and I don't see a noindex on that page, but I do see it on some other pages. (Though that shouldn't stop other pages from being crawled.)
Maybe it was just a glitch that happened to occur at the time of the crawl. You could try doing another crawl and see if you get the same error.

The page is: http://www.yogaenmandiram.com/ And don't have noindex

Hmm. How about on the page itself? Is there a noindex?
-
Yes, our robots.txt it's very simple:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php -
That just says that you are blocking the Moz crawler. Take a look at your robots.txt file and see if you have any exclusions in there that might cause that page not to be crawled. (Try going to yoursite.com/robots.txt or you can learn more about this topic here.)

Sorry, the image don't appear
Try now -
It looks like the error you are referring to did not come through in your question. Could you try editing it?

Why are only two pages of my site being crawled by MOZ?
MOZ is only crawling two pages of my site even though there are links on the homepage, and the robot.txt file allows for crawling. Our site address is www.hrparts.com.

Crawl test
I used to use the crawl test tool to crawl websites and it presented the information in a really useful hierarchy of pages. The new on-demand crawl test doesn't seem to do this. Is there another tool I should be using to get the data?

"Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site."
Hi Mozzers! I've received an error message saying the site can't be crawled because Moz is unable to access the robots.txt. I've spoken to the webmaster and he can't understand why the robot.txt can't be accessed as this seems to be fine: https://k3syspro.com/robots.txt and Google isn't flagging anything up to us. Does anyone know why this may be? Thanks, Matthew

Rogerbot not crawling our site
Has anyone else had issues with Roger crawling your site in the last few weeks? It shows only 2 pages crawled. I was able to crawl the site using Screaming Frog with no problem and we are not specifically blocking Roger via robots.txt or any other method. Has anyone encountered this issue? Any suggestions?

Receiving incapsula error codes when trying to respond to questions
I have been receiving multiple error codes from incapsula when trying to edit answers or add an additional answer. I want to save the code I have seen is 112 or 12 I will take a screenshot the next time I see it. However, it has happened to me quite a few times and I have to refresh my browser every time I choose to post, edit basically do anything on the site. Using both Safari, Chrome and Firefox have yielded the same results. Tom PS I have tried to replicate the results when posting this no luck.

Received emails about new ranking, crawl and on page reports, but nothing new shows.
Yesterday morning I had emails about updated crawl, ranking and on page reports being available however nothing in my dashboard is newer than 2/21. I waited through yesterday to see if things changed, logged in and out etc but nothing new has shown up. Any ideas on why that is the case?

Crawl Limit Question
I'm a little confused as to how the crawl limit works. Since there seems to be a 10K per week max, the crawl limit can't be per week, so what is the time period? Also, does that include crawling sites entered as competitors? Right now I'm at 14/25 sites and most of them are under 1,000 pages so I'm not sure how I hit that limit (other than a one-time spike of 28,000 in November).
