      _Can someone help explain this error and the best fix for it. The host says the script maybe looking for an SSL but that made low/no sense. Your input it greatly appreciated.

      4XX status codes (i.e., a 404 Not Found error) are shown when the client requests a page that cannot be accessed. This is usually the result of a bad or broken link. These issues should be kept to a minimum if possible. Make sure no internal links on your site are broken. For external links to your site, try contacting the linking site's owner and asking them to fix or update the link. _

        Hi there! Tawny from the Help Team here. It looks like, from this screenshot, the referring URL does not contain the www - it could be that there's something not quite right about the redirect from http://premier-hd.com/ to http://www.premier-hd.com/ that's tripping up our tools.

        I found this article about 406 HTTP status codes that might be helpful to you: http://www.hostingflow.com/http-error-406-not-acceptable/

        It might be worth going over what you're seeing in your Site Crawl section with your web developer or whoever manages your web page for you. They'll be in a good position to help you address the issues that Site Crawl brings up.

        I hope this helps! If you have more questions, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll do everything we can to assist you! 🙂

          Ran another crawler and didn't see any issues so I think you should be good technically.

          I also ran a stress test and there were times when the VU couldn't access the page (although generally this would throw up another error code, could be the reason for the 406).

                    Yes, I understand that much. But in the actual report from MOZ, if you had any 4xx error it will tell you in the report the exact URL that returned the error. If there was no URL listed then you had no URLs found returning that error.

                      The report came from SEO moz and cannot be replicated and no more information is provided. It seems like a dead end to me...

                        Where did the original report say the error was coming from? Does the originating URL return a 4xx error if you go to it manually?

                          I cannot replicate the issues on any other crawls. That is why I'm asking...

                            Normally the reports will let you know what page the error was encountered on and/or originated from. If there's an error listed there then odds are either the crawl found a broken link within your site that returned a 404 Not Found or you have something that was blocked returning a 403 Forbidden. Have you run any other crawls of the site (such as with Screaming Frog) or checked Google Search Console to see if there are any crawl errors listed on the site?

                                We need more info. Site? URL the 404 had an inbound link from?

                                While going through your site, the crawler encountered a link that it followed which resulted in the server returning a 404 status code (not found).

                                  Hello,
                                  We have no idea what Moz is or how it is used. We only learned your name when our credit card was charged. We want to cancel this subscription transaction somehow and get our money back. We called our bank to cancel our card and stated that the transaction was made without our knowledge. Please refund our money.

                                  Unsolved Issue with API Results and Excessive Token Consumption

                                  api data accuracy token consumption support

                                  Dear Moz Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the performance of the Moz API, which I have been using for domain information retrieval through Zapier. Despite paying for your API service, I am encountering several significant issues that are affecting my ability to use the service effectively: Incorrect and Inconsistent Data: When I query domain information, I receive incorrect results for Page Authority (PA), Domain Authority (DA), and Spam Score (SS). Specifically, PA and DA are always returned as 1, while SS is consistently -1, which indicates that the data being provided is either incomplete or incorrect. This discrepancy is preventing me from relying on your service for accurate domain insights. Excessive Token Consumption: I have noticed that the API token usage is significantly higher than expected. After querying only 250 domains, my token consumption has already exceeded 6,000 tokens, which seems unusually high. I had understood that the token usage would be calculated per query, but it appears that the consumption is much higher than anticipated. Given that I have invested in this service, I am frustrated that I am not receiving the expected level of performance and data accuracy. Could you please investigate these issues and provide clarity on why this is happening? Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve these discrepancies and ensure that I am using the API in the most efficient way possible. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving these issues. thank you
