      Hello guys and gals,

      This is a very odd one, I've a client's website and most of the crawlers I'm using are giving me weird/ wrong results.

      For now lets focus on screaming frog, when I crawl the site it will list e.g. meta titles as missing (not all of them though), however going into the site the title is not missing, and Google seems to be indexing the site fine. The robots.txt are not affecting the site (I've also tried changing the user agent).

      The other odd thing is SF gives a 200 code but as a status tells me "connection refused" even though it's giving me data.

      I'm unable to share the clients site, has any one else seen this very odd issue? And solutions for it?

      Many thanks in advanced for any help,

            Cheers for the tweet Andy.

            Chris, I'd recommend running through this list here in our FAQ -

            http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/faq/#17

            In particular, I'd recommend reducing the crawl speed & adjusting the user-agent.

            You can also pop it through to our support (http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/support/) & we can advise. All confidential etc.

            Cheers

            Dan

                Hi Chris

                This is hard to answer without an example - do you have a URL or two that you can share with the community?

                Thanks so much!

                  Ahrefs vs Moz

                  Hi! I noticed the Moz DA en the Ahrefs DA are very different. Where https://www.123opzeggen.nl/ has a DA of 10 at MOZ, the DA at Ahrefs is 26. Where does this big difference come from? Do you measure in different ways? I hope you can answer this question for me. Thank you in advance!

                  Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?

                  From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

                  MOZ Versus HUBSPOT??? If We Discontinue MOZ Subscription and Get HUBSPOT, Anything Lost?

                  How does Hubspot compare with MOZ? Doe it provide similar features or is the functionality very different? Is Hubspot complementary to MOZ or could it be used as a substitute? If we stopped our MOZ subscription and subscribed to Hubspot would we lose anything? Thanks, Alan

                  Woocommerce filter urls showing in crawl results, but not indexed?

                  I'm getting 100's of Duplicate Content warnings for a Woocommerce store I have. The urls are 
                   etc These don't seem to be indexed in google, and the canonical is for the shop base url. These seem to be simply urls generated by Woocommerce filters. Is this simply a false alarm from Moz crawl?
