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.

On-Page Grader
Hello the I am trying to use On-page Grader tool on https://www.brownandkings.co.uk/ but is not allowing me to get any grade. I thought might be an issue on my hosting provider, but they said all configuration is perfect... I also went to use https://technicalseo.com/tools/robots-txt/ to test the robots and the configuration and test came perfect for the webpage. I search on Google, and all the FAQ here in Moz but no answer, how to solve this issue... so that is the reason for this question. "On-page Grader tool" some of the campaign I list here work but some don't 😞 how can I make work Looking for hearing from you!

On Page Grader not working on the fly
On Page Grader has this lovely little re-grade page button next to the URL and term field but it's never worked on the fly for me. What's going on here? You discover something critical, fix it and you want the satisfaction of re-grading to test it and get that A but it doesn't work. I can see the changes on the site so why not??

Why can't On-Page Grader grade any Hilton hotel URLs?
I'm receiving the "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for every hilton hotel webpage I check when using On-Page Grader. Is Hilton blocking Moz's On-Page Grader or is something else going on? Here are a few "inaccessible URLs" from different brands within Hilton's portfolio: http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-york/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-metropolitan-new-york-city-NYCDTDT/index.html http://home2suites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/tennessee/home2-suites-by-hilton-nashville-vanderbilt-tn-BNAHTHT/index.html http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/hampton-inn-and-suites-destin-DSINEHX/index.html http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/georgia/hilton-garden-inn-atlanta-downtown-ATLDOGI/index.html Thanks in advance.

"Sorry! We weren't able to find that page when we crawled your site." Please help!
Can someone please explain whey I am getting this error for this link "http://lensoutloud.com/san-antonio-real-estate-photography/" when I attempt to perform an on page SEO grading? The link is indexed and ranking very well but for some reason Moz says it can't find the page when it crawled my site. This has also happened when I attempt to grade other pages on my site. Thanks in advance!

How do I get Moz to crawl my site?
If I'm not mistaken, Moz will crawl my site once a week and let me know of any errors, notices etc.. But can I ask them to crawl once I have updated all the errors? or do I have to wait for them to do this automatically?
