After fixing Crawl Errors, how long does it take to for Moz or Google to re-crawl a website?
-
Last night I found out through Moz that my robots.txt file was blocking any crawling of my website. I fixed the issue. Now do I just sit and wait?

Moz will crawl the site every week so you'll need to wait a few days for that to happen.
In the meantime you could try using the Moz Crawl tool to do a manual crawl. Depending on the size of your site this can take a few days so you might find it's just worth waiting for the weekly crawl. You can find the crawl tool here:

If you site isn't included in Google's index because it was inaccessible due to the robots,txt, then you'll want to go into Google Webmaster Tools and use the Crawl -> Fetch as Googlebot to kickstart Google crawling/indexing your site.

Can I access old data/keyword research if I cancel my Moz Pro account?
I'm currently on the free month trial period for Moz Pro and I will probably cancel the account before the free period ends, but if I want to renew my subscription later, what happens to all the previous data? And does all the keyword research I've done disappear when I cancel it, or is it restored when I renew the subscription? Any insight is helpful! Thank you!

SSL - green padlock but Moz say there's an 804 error?
Hi, my site has a green padlock and no SSL errors but Moz are reporting an 804 error. I use CloudFlare with fairly complex settings. I've read this thread but it's quite old and I don't understand which parts of it are still valid. I'd love to know whether this can be sorted before I spend hours setting up Moz's features as if they can't crawl my site then I would obviously need to cancel my subscription. Thanks
