On-Page Grader supporting HTTPS?
-
Hi there,
I am getting the error "Sorry, but this URL is inaccessible" on the Moz On-Page Grader. I have tested with multiple URL's but any that link to my site give the error. I have noticed my site's URL's redirect to https so my question is..is the on-page grader in-compatible with https?
Cheers!

Oh good! I'm glad you were able to find the source!
We actually use a set of dynamic IPs, so there's not a range that I'd be able to provide. I'm afraid the best things I could suggest would be to ask them to whitelist our user agents, dotbot and rogerbot.

Thanks Jordan, it didn't make a difference but what I found was that my hosting company was blocking Amazon Web Services. They said they need a range of IP's from the cloud service that Moz uses to unblock, is there anyway you can advise me on what these are and is Amazon the cloud service that Moz uses?
Cheers!

I would expect that to take care of the issue

I've changed it too:
User-agent: rogerbot
Allow: /
Would this let Moz crawl the site?
-
Hmm I thought that too! It's strange though because my site is being indexed on Google and Moz is able to crawl it for other features. When I run the robots test in Google Webmaster Tools, the one where you run a test to see if URL's are blocked and you pick a bot e.g Googlebot...it says everything is working ok and it is allowed? Wouldn't that not be the case if bots were blocked from crawling the site?
-
Ah, yep, that would do it!
That configuration is currently blocking every bot known to man from accessing every portion of your site. Here's an awesome resource to help with robots.txt setup: http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
If you were looking to allow all robots to access all pages on your site, then this command would do the trick:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
(Without the blank line between commands. Q&A formatting be damned.

Hi Jordan,
Thanks a million for your response! I am still having the same issue..my robots.txt is as follows:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /Would this be blocking those bots? I know this blocks bots from accessing ALL content, but does it block all bots from accessing my site in general? Should I be changing it and if so, what would you recommend I change to allow for optimal crawling?
Cheers and thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi Ross!
On-Page Grader should definitely function for https sites, in general. For example, https://moz.com looks to be working just fine.If you're getting that response from On-Page Grader, it's usually related to some sort of blockage. I'd recommend checking through your robots.txt to make sure that rogerbot and dotbot aren't being blocked, that your SSL is all looking good, and that the site isn't blocking Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Page Optimization problem in Moz
Hello there, I've been using Moz Pro for a year now, and encountered I've encountered small issues here and there (like some features not working currently, but they start working after a few hours tops) but now I have a bigger issue. Page Optimization feature stopped working and it's dead for five days now. Even my older research is gone. (check the images) Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? It says that the crawler is blocked or the page isn't working, and when I check the pages in other platforms with crawlers it all goes smooth. All of the pages are working, and all of the crawlers (tested even in Google console) are doing fine. I even had the Moz crawler on 04.07.2019 as the standard week crawl and I got the results. Everything else is working just fine, I have a problem with the Page Optimization feature only. Thanks in advance, Ivan Ga4LKkQ

Rankings > Landing Page > Only UK?
Hello Is it possible to use the landing Page reports for sites in Norway .no? If we define a search engine in UK, maybe it will mess up all the other data we are collecting? Regards

The Page Optimization tool keeps asking for several changes that are already in place! How can I get it to recognize them?
Hi there...the Page Optimization tool shows a 71 score for one of my pages, but the most critical needs it noted have already been in there for some time. What's the deal with this? Thanks...

Re On-Page Grader
One of the pages I'm trying to optimise is achieving an 'A' grade, however all the ticks are black not green as I've seen on other page grade. Why is this? Help much appreciated. Thanks

Puzzled. High domain authority, but low page authority?
I have a question regarding how a page's authority can be low but the domain authority be high. I'm using the SERP report in moz to compare competing pages. The page I'm working on is an ecommerce category page. Moz says it has very low page authority, has been indexed for a little over a year, it's domain authority is a moderate 50, and has no root domains linking to it. It is more relevant than the other pages (has more products for sale that fit the keyword searched for), has a decent amount of copy on the page, but ranks around #10 in the search results. The competing pages are also ecommerce category pages. The 9 ranking higher have domain authority varying from 30-75, and 1 or 2 root domain links to them. Their number of products that match the keyword searched are all over the board, some have many matches, some have only 6 or 8 results. Some have a moderate amount of text on the page, some have very little text on the page. Yet they have page authority in the 30s-40s. What goes into page authority that I'm missing which would make these other pages have so much more authority when they are just slightly better in the other metrics listed above? What am I missing here?

Moz's on-page grader
Hello, I am having an issue with Moz's on-page grader. Grading the page, http://www.babyklar.dk/tigerspring/26-ugers-springet.html for the keyword 'Tigerspring 26 uger' I am receiving the error message: 'Exact keyword is used in page title' - tagging it as a highly important but easy fix. But I only have the words "Tigerspring 26 uger" in the title, so how can this not grade as Exact keyword? Is there somthing wrong with the system? Or is it me? Thanks very much. Best regards

MOZ On Page Grader Not Seeing Changes
Hello all, I've been doing some SEO work recently and using the really handy A-F rating on MOZ on page grader as a guide. It's worked great so far on my sites up until today. I've made some small changes to a site such as the title and MOZ isn't seeing these changes. For example if I were to put 'banana' in the title of one of my other sites and re-run the on page grader with 'banana' as a keyword, instantly MOZ would say this keyword is used in the title once. I've done the same to another site and the same thing hasn't happened. I did a test and wrote all the keywords from the title in the on page grader and it still said they appear 0 times in the title. Am I missing something here? The site is different from the others, it's flat html and not CMS, but the SEO changes I've made are still the same. Thanks!

On the on page optimization page, I found out that there are 2 contributing factors which are opposite to each other. "No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag"
"No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag" If you fulfill one condition, the other one is not completed. If you consider Article heading as H1 then Moz do not detect keyword in the heading.
