Time out writing responses to Moz Q&A
-
This is driving me crazy and making me wish to destroy everything I can reach with my hands.
I like to write long curated answers to people questions on here. And evidently there's some sort of timeouts in Moz Q&A software.
Because every time I answer to someone I get this fu#@!ng error message...
So I go back, I lost everything and either give up or write one sentence.
-
Hrm... I'll do some digging to see if I can find anything odd/off. And ask some of our other frequent users to see if they're having the same issues.
-
It's a couple of weeks I experience this from different computers. If I write a short answer like this one I have no problem. If I spend some time writing is more likely than not to happen.

Hi Max,
Sorry to hear about frustrating timeouts. Definitely the worst! Forum usability is definitely something we keep an eye on. Right now, there aren't any known bugs surrounding timeouts.
I do suggest deleting your cookies and cache as this could be a cookie fail.
Please do let us know if the problem persists.
Thanks!

This happened to me recently as well. Very frustrating.
-
That's what I am doing when I remember doing it. But I think someone at moz should look into the error.
-
If this happens to you often, I'd suggest you either:
- Highlight your entire answer and copy it before you click "Post Response". Even if you get an error, you can just return to the question and paste your response.
- Write your answer somewhere else, and then paste it into the Response box in Moz Q&A. That way you have it somewhere else and can't actually lose it.
This is assuming the error you're receiving is a timeout. If it turns out that it isn't, I'd email help@moz.com.

How does Moz determine the number of keywords evident on a given page
How does Moz identify which keywords are evident on page and how many that can be on that page. Can any of these identified keywords lie on any other pages within site and to what degree-thanks

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

When I try to run a Moz report, it sends me to a 404 page?
Hey there. I'm trying to export a .pdf to send to my client. When I click "export pdf", the page sits for a second then goes to a 404 page? I've never seen this before. Is anyone else getting this problem?

Moz Crawl Test Trying to Crawl Contact Form Submit Button Location?
Moz Crawl Test for some reason is trying to Crawl a contact form Widget Submit Location. My obvious guess is that obviously the crawl cannot submit to the required fields…..I believe this because they're only kicking back these errors on the pages I have a contact form widget on. http://crawfordspest.com/pest-control/crawfords@crawfordspest.com 1412553693 404 : Received 404 (Not Found) error response for page. Error attempting to request page; see title for details. 404

http://crawfordspest.com/specialty-services/crawfords@crawfordspest.com 1412553693 404 : Received 404 (Not Found) error response for page. Error attempting to request page; see title for details. 404 Can you shed any insight to this? I'm a bit worried that I'll have to complete gut the contact form which was one of the major requests my client requested. Or in a worse scenario make all fields not required. It would let so much spam in. I have never seem anything like this at all. But I've learned a lot from Moz, and with major errors like 404 damage Domain Authority greatly. I've fixed 404 issues with newly acquired clients existing sites and tracked through Moz and the domain authority flies up once these errors are fixed. Along with fixing what Webmaster Tools through Google reports back. ..... Let me know if you have any expertise on this matter.0 -

We have over 1,330 pages that say we are "Missing Meta Description Tag" when I spot check all of them have meta descriptions?

New website launched 3 weeks ago but not sure what Moz Analysis is telling me?
Hi 3 weeks ago I re-branded and completely changed the proposition on www.over50choices.co.uk as the URL is appropriate to the proposition. And whilst it looks good I am unsure what the Moz Tools are telling me, other than it doesnt look good? There should be about 163 pages, but Moz reports over 500 due to i think so many 301's? Plus most pages under the HTTP Status reports No Data! Most of the the 404's are from the old site. Webmaster Tools say 163 pages submitted but only 2 indexed, but on site:search it says about 117 but 40+ of these are the old site. It looks a mess...! Sleepless nights have started - any thoughts!? Thanks Ash
