Error 406 with crawler test
-
hi to all. I have a big problem with the crawler of moz on this website: www.edilflagiello.it.
On july with the old version i have no problem and the crawler give me a csv report with all the url but after we changed the new magento theme and restyled the old version, each time i use the crawler, i receive a csv file with this error:
"error 406"
Can you help me to understan wich is the problem? I already have disabled .htacces and robots.txt but nothing.
Website is working well, i have used also screaming frog as well.
-
thank you very much Dirk. this sunday i try to fix all the error and next i will try again. Thanks for your assistance.

I noticed that you have a Vary: User-Agent in the header - so I tried visiting your site with js disabled & switched the user agent to Rogerbot. Result: the site did not load (turned endlessly) and checking the console showed quite a number of elements that generated 404's. In the end - there was a timeout.
Try screaming frog - set user agent to Custom and change the values to
Name:Rogerbot
Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; UrlCrawler; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot)
It will be unable to crawl your site. Check your server configuration - there are issues in how you deal with the Mozbot useragent.
Check the attached images.

nothing. After i fix all the 40x error the crawler is always empty. Any other ideas?
-
thanks, i'm wait another day
-
I know the Crawl Test reports are cached for about 48 hours so there is a chance that the CSV will look identical to the previous one for that reason.
With that in mind, I'd recommend waiting another day or two before requesting a new Crawl Test or just waiting until your next weekly campaign update, if that is sooner

i have fixed all error but csv is always empty and says:
http://www.edilflagiello.it,2015-10-21T13:52:42Z,406 : Received 406 (Not Acceptable) error response for page.,Error attempting to request page
here the printscreen: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151020_QW_JMP/1/details/
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
-
thanks a lot guy! I'm going to check this errors before next crawling.
-
Great answer Dirk! Thanks for helping out!
Something else I noticed is that the site is coming back with quite a few errors when I ran it through a 3rd party tool, W3C Markup Validation Service and it also was checking the page as XHTML 1.0 Strict which looks to be common in other cases of 406 I've seen.
-
If you check your page with external tools you'll see that the general status of the page is 200- however there are different elements which generate a 4xx error (your logo generates a 408 error - same for the shopping cart) - for more details you could check this http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151019_29_14E6/1/details/.
Remember that Moz bot is quite sensitive for errors -while browsers, Googlebot & Screaming Frog will accept errors on page, Moz bot stops in case of doubt.
You might want to check the 4xx errors & correct them - normally Moz bot should be able to crawl your site once these errors are corrected. More info on 406 errors can be found here. If you have access to your log files you could check in detail which elements are causing the problems when Mozbot is visiting your site.

Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading
Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

How Much Time It Will Take To Lower the Spam Score?
I'm facing an issue with my website. Due to little to no knowledge about link building and backlink, i created backlinks without checking the quality and spam score of the sites. Now there are many sites linking to my website but the overall spam score is very high of my website and my domain is reviewheart.com that i'm talking about. I have created a list and disavowed all he poor linking domains but still no improvement shown. Can anyone have the idea how much time moz will take to show the updated spam score as i have disavowed all the low quality spammed linking site?

Keyword Ranking Report is Different than Real Result on Google
Hi Guys,
Moz Bar | | KanikaG
I am getting MOZ reports on a few keywords and that is good But when My client search for the same keywords he doesn't get the same rank, not even on that page. Let me explain in more details:
I have a keyword that shows on rank #5 in Google Mobile for a Local location for the current week. The client is from the same location as well. But when client search for that keyword from his mobile he doesn't get the keyword listed on that page, not even on other pages. I checked with other online keyword rank checker tool and all are showing the result similar to the Moz ranking report. It's really frustrating for my client. Google analytics shows that mobile users and organic reach are increasing so I am sure MOZ and other tools are showing us correct result. What could be the possible reason that he is not getting the same result as showing by MOZ? I am not from his location so how can I check the keyword result for the selected city using MOZ that is accurate? Any help would be highly appreciated. Please help. Thanks1 -
Error Code 803: Incomplete HTTP Response Received
On 5 pages on our site we've got an Error Code 803: Incomplete HTTP Response Received. We checked the network interface within the browser inspector, which did not return any errors, this would mean than there were no issues with retrieving resources from the server. In the console log there are no errors also. We also inspected the URL bar settings and can see each page is loaded under a secure connection with no errors. When using http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php there was a "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" issue. A little in the dark on what to do next. Any help would be amazing!

What is Considered Duplicate Content by Crawlers?
I am asking this because I have a couple of site audit tools that I use to crawl a site I work on every week and they are showing duplicate content issues (which I know there is a lot on this site) but some of what is flagged as duplicate content makes no sense. For example, the following URL's were grouped together as duplicate content: | https://www.firefold.com/contact-us | https://www.firefold.com/gabe | https://www.firefold.com/sale | | | How are these pages duplicate content? I am confused on what site audit tools are considering duplicate content. Just FYI, this is data from Moz crawl diagnostics but SEMrush site auditor is giving me the same type of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

Getting 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible' error msg when trying to run On-Page Grader
I just signed up for MOZ Pro for the first time today. Tried to run the 'on-page grader' tool on some of my pages but I'm getting a 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible' error msg. I have verified against the robot.txt file that the pages are NOT blocking any crawlers. Can anybody help?
