We've launched a new website and i'm see a lot of 503 errors when i run Screaming Frog Seo Spider. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

It's indeed a paid option. I think it’s the most important that the server is responding correctly at the moment and you find out what caused the errors. If you check any pages with a 503 status manually, do they respond?
A other option is to check the server logs if you can find out anything there or call your hosting provider and ask them why the server is giving 503 errors. If you didn’t cause the problems it’s important to know what did since they may come back and cause your website to stop working correctly again.
Webmaster tools will only give you an overview of what Google finds at the moment they visit your website. So it might not give you the most accurate answer to what caused the problem.

i tried but it's only available for licensed users
Wait for what webmaster tools gives back i guess? -
Hi Happy SEO,
An 503 error is a server error which can indicate a server overload.
It could be possible that you created these errors because you are using screaming frog. This tool makes a lot of requests in a very short period. I would try to run the tool again with speed adjusted to 1 threads with 2 URL/s.
You can find the speed settings under configuration. If this doesn’t resolve the problem feel free to post a response.
PS. When I use the tool I only get a response from the homepage. This does indicate the server is blocking the access.

How get rid of 403 crawl error?
My wordpress website has 162 crawl 403 errors. Based on what I read it means that the server is denying crawlers to access the pages. The pages itself will load so guessing it's just an issue with crawlers only. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Is it OK to put a Blog Post and a Page within the same folder on a Wordpress hosted website?
Our education company website (hosted on wordpress) has evolved into having content on key topics distributed across both blog posts and pages. For example, "top-pharmaceutical-companies" lends itself to being published as a page. However other content "top-pharmaceutical-companies-usa-2016" lends itself to being published as a blog post as it's more temporal in nature. Now we'd like to establish topical domain relevance for the root keyword "pharmaceutical companies" and build a folder www./ourcompany/pharmaceutical-companies/ But when we look through our blog content, we notice we have "Blog Posts" that would be an excellent fit for certain folders within our "Page" url structure. So would it be OK to amend these blogs post urls addresses to place them within the folder structure of the pages.

Wordpress blog duplicate issue
So after looking at the set up of the blog ive found this. http://www.trespass.co.uk/blog/ http://www.trespass.co.uk/blog/category/news/ http://www.trespass.co.uk/blog/category/general/ http://www.trespass.co.uk/blog/category/snow/ Content shown on http://www.trespass.co.uk/blog/ can also be found on the other 3 urls. The permalink structure is set up as /%category%/%postname%/ which I want to change to just %postname% Obviously i want to make things as seo friendly as possible so any suggestions to do this right without losing any indexed pages etc. I have limited access to make changes to plugins etc aswell as these need to be done through the development company who manage our site. Cheers Robert

Advantages of Wordpress Pages versus Posts
I have a number of SEO focused articles that I would like to post to our site to help with content and rankings. I am wondering the advantages of posting the content as a page versus a post within Wordpress. Or even vice versa.
