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.

Crawl tests stuck in queue
I have tried to run a number of crawl tests recently for our client's sites outside the US and they have been stuck in the queue for over a week. 3 of them completed, but then 5 are stuck. Anyone experience this? I haven't seen anything about crawl tests having issues right now.

Moz Crawler Causing Server Timeouts... Crawling thousands of non-existant pages with query parameters
Moz crawler is crawling all pages like this: http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_orderby=date http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&paged=1 http://www.xxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_view=grid Last month it crawled 80,000 pages on a site with less than 100 pages. Is there a way to select only certain pages to be crawled? Right now it is still crawling this site, since Monday morning and it's Tuesday mid-day. Every Monday it is causing time-outs from high band width on our server. Just getting ready to delete this client from the account unless there is a solution someone can give us. Thanks.

Crawl Test Takes Long Time
Hi Moz, I have submitted our website for a crawl test. Usually it would only take a few hours to do the crawl. However this time, it takes quite long time and the result still shows in progress 😞 This is a small website which only contains less than 10 pages. Just wondering if this is our website setting issue or it is a technical issue at your end? Many thanks in advance. sFjAERG.png

How Do I Troubleshoot 804 HTTPS Crawl Error?
In my Moz crawl report I get: Crawl Error
Moz Bar | | digium
Moz encountered an error on one or more pages on your site
Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered The Moz Help Section only says: 804 HTTPS (SSL) error 804 errors result from a site with misconfigured SSL software. If Moz's crawlers cannot correctly interpret an SSL response for a home page, the crawl ends immediately. My site is publicly accessible on https - https://www.respoke.io/ And I'm not seeing any issues with my certificate. Can anyone help me out? What steps can I take to troubleshoot this error? If SSL is misconfigured, how do I configure it properly?0 -
Moz Crawler URL paramaters & duplicate content
Hi all, this is my first post on Moz Q&A 🙂 Questions: Does the Moz Crawler take into account rel="canonical" for search results pages with sorting / filtering URL parameters? How much time does it take for an issue to disappear from the issues list after it's been corrected? Does it come op in the next weekly report? I'm asking because the crawler is reporting 50k+ pages crawled, when in reality, this number should be closer to 1000. All pages with query parameters have the correct canonical tag pointing to the root URL, so I'm wondering whether I need to noindex the other pages for the crawler to report correct data?: Original (canonical URL): DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas Filter active URL: DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas&booking_date=&booking_days=1&booking_persons=1&priceFilter%5B%5D=0%2C500&includedPriceFilter%5B%5D=drinks-soft Also, if noindex is the only solution, will it impact the ranking of the pages involved? Note: Google and Bing are semi-successful in reporting index page count, each reporting around 2.5k result pages when using the site:DOMAIN.com query. The rel canonical tag was missing for a short period of time about 4 weeks ago, but since fixing the issue these pages still haven't been deindexed. Appreciate any suggestions regarding Moz Crawler & Google / Bing index count!
