403 errors in Moz but not in Google Search Console

[SusannahK.Noel]

Hello,

Moz is showing that one of the sites I manage has about ten 403 errors on main pages, including the home page. But when I go to Google Search Console, I'm not getting any 403 errors. I don't know too much about this site (I handle the SEO for a few sites as a contractor for a digital marketing agency), but I can see that it's a WordPress site (I'm not sure if that's relevant).

Can I assume this a Moz issue only?

Thanks,

Susannah Noel

Hey Susannah!

Moz's crawler is built to be more sensitive to crawl issues than Google's crawler as we feel it's better to provide more data than less. If you're wondering what's causing certain crawl errors to pop up you can always check out our Crawl Errors Guide. It's hard to know what's causing your 403 errors without looking at the site and campaign, but if you'd like help in diagnosing the issue I recommend writing in to help@moz.com with your details so we can check it out!
