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.

I keep getting a 429 Too Many Request error for a wp-login page on my website. Is there a way to prevent that from happening, or fix outside of redirecting on the back end of WordPress?
I have a client that keeps coming up with 429 Too Many Request critical crawl errors. I re-directed some of them on the back end of WordPress, but additional keep coming in. The URL has a WP-Login and directs to back end login section. Is there a reason that would come up as an error, how can I prevent it from happening again, and how can I fix the remaining current errors outside of redirecting back to /? Thanks, Kalyn Lengieza

Moz Crawl Report Increase in Errors?
Has anyone else noticed a huge increase over the past couple weeks in crawl issues in their dashboards? Without being able to see historical data week over week, I can't tell what's been added. Is this some update with the tool? I'm not seeing any health issues with this feature on the Moz Health page, it just seems strange that I'm seeing this across all our accounts.

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!

Moz crawler finding my homepage multiple times
Hi and thank you in advance for your help! I have a Moz Pro campaign running (I am a complete Moz novice by the way) for one of my websites (balloonsutah.com). After crawling my site, the Moz crawler informed me that I have 3 pages with duplicate content. While I am not sure why exactly this is happening, the crawler indexed my homepage 3 times under different url's. -balloonsutah.com
Moz Bar | | Keenan-Price
-balloonsutah.com/
-balloonsutah.com/index.html I checked my FTP server and I cannot figure out for the life of me why the crawler is finding anything other than the index.html file. I suppose I need to do something regarding a rel="Canonical" but I am not terribly familiar with that either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Did the Crawl Test tool go away or was it replaced
I loved that tool as it provided me with all of my URLs and it was easy to catch all errors at once. I had it booked marked but now I am just going to the regular tools page.

Crawl Diagnostics: Exlude known errors and others that have been detected by mistake? New moz analytics feature?
I'm curious if the new moz analytics will have the feature (filter) to exclude known errors from the crwal diagnostics. For example, the attached screenshot shows the URL as 404 Error, but it works fine: http://en.steag.com.br/references/owners-engineering-services-gas-treatment-ogx.php To maintain a better overview which errors can't be solved (so I just would like to mark them as "don't take this URL into account...") I will not try to fix them again next time. On the other hand I have hundreds of errors generated by forums or by the cms that I can not resolve on my own. Also these kind of crawl errors I would like to filter away and categorize like "errors to see later with a specialist". Will this come with the new moz analytics? Anyway is there a list that shows which new features will still be implemented? knPGBZA.png?1
