Onpage grader says site unreachable
-
It is possible the crawler is caught in the firewall. Any idea what I need to have whitelisted?
-
Thanks for the update! So glad it's working now.
-
Just to update for people that see this question in the future. The problem was caused by the lack of intermediate certificate. Everything is now working.
-
Just to add, I managed to run a site crawl (the one with the downloadable csv file) so clearly it is just related to the on-page grader.
Also, rather strangely other sites on the VPS work fine (http).
Therefore I am thinking more and more that it is an SSL intermediate certificate issue.
-
Yeh, that answer was not very helpful, although it contained useful information.
My working theory is that as I just transferred the site to one of my VPS that the SSL doesn't have a valid intermediate certificate. I will have a closer look at resolving this tomorrow.
It probably didn't help that I was not accurate with the error message which states that "sorry but that url is inaccessable".

Have you considered going through your server and/or firewall logs to find out the root cause of the issue? Your host should be able to help you there, even without any IP's. Just run a crawl, and tell them approximately what time you ran it - that should be enough for them to start analyzing the issue.
The first question to find an answer to is what is blocking the crawler, followed by how is it blocking the crawler and finally, why is it blocking the crawler.
Once you find an answer to those questions, it will be vastly easier to help you find a solution.
-
Well, my host cannot check without IP's and from what I read Moz doesn't give out IPs as they are dynamic.
I guess that leaves me stuck unable to use this service.

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?
When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

Why isn't the Moz bar data populating for Yahoo sites?
The Moz bar isn't populating information for Yahoo homepage or it's verticals (i.e. homes, autos, finance, etc.), but I can get this data for other portals like AOL or MSN. I'm specifically looking for PA, mR, and DA information, but instead I get a generic "Search Profile" bar with no page/site-specific data.

Is there a reason Open Site Explorer data isn't populating for this particular portal?0 -
Www.site.com linking to pages www10.site.com
The root domain of the website in question is www.site.com but all subpages are on the subdomain www10.site.com (I'm pretty sure it's a subdomain, at least, used for load balancing?). A funny thing happens on this site with the moz toolbar. I visit a subpage, www10.site.com/articles/articletopic1 That page has a lot of links on it, all of them visibly going to the subdomain www10.site.com. However, the moz toolbar shows some of them as Internal links and most of them as External links. As far as I can tell, there is no real rhyme or reason to the difference between the links that are highlighted as Internal vs. External. The link structures vary greatly: Some are properly structured www10.site.com/blogs/category

And some are poor like www10.site.com/articles/show_articles.php?section=category1 So a couple questions here: Does this subdomain www10 have a detriment on the rankings of subpages?
What could possibly cause the internal links on these subpages to be highlighted as external pages with the moz toolbar?1 -
How Does the On-Page Grader Know about my Target Keyword? Or how can I tell it?
So we've optimized a home page for a particular keyword, "blue widgets tx". But the on-page grader is giving information about "tx blue widgets", "blue widgets in texas", etc. and telling us we are an "F" for these keywords. Is it possible to tell the on-page grader, "Hey, just worry about 'blue widgets tx', and forget about those other ones"? I know I can do it by hand, but it will take forever.

OnPage Reports - Duplicate titles and meta descriptions
Hi Moz, I know you guys changed your interface awhile back but I have a question about the new reports. On the old interface, I used to use a report that would automatically run when I created a new account letting me know where the dup titles and meta descriptions were on an entire site. Where can I find this report on the new interface? Thanks Carla
