Shopify crawl issues
-
Hi Moz'ers,
I am a total newcomer to this level of seo. Recently I transitioned to Shopify and I'm puzzled by why I'm getting 803 errors - incomplete crawl attempts due to server timing out.
Wouldn't this have to do with Shopify? How would I go about fixing it? I'm also getting 804 - SSL issues, but I assume that will go away.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Hello,
We are looking into this same issue with Shopify, we've recieved intermittent 803 and 804 error notifications from Moz on a Shopify store. Specific to these errors Shopify put forward a possible cause and we were wondering if this is correct or not. The thread on Shopify is located here:
https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-marketing/t/crawl-errors-337539#comment-351993
Their suggestion on what the issue may be is as follows:
"I've been having a read through of this thread and one possibility for the 803 errors showing up on MOZ is that they may not be able to use SNI (Server Name Indication extension). If they don't use SNI then it would make sense that Shopify stores with an SSL certificate would pull up errors like that. We can't help troubleshoot MOZ's service directly, but that could be a good place to start with some of these errors."
Would you be able to offer any feedback on this being the cause of the errors?
Thanks!

Hi Marcus,
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
I understand more about the errors, and will be more informed when I speak with Shopify. I don't have any way of checking this myself & it is above my pay grade, anyway.
I noticed this was a topic on the Shopify forum discussion groups. The discussion didn't last too long which leads me to believe either:
1. people give up, or
2. it ends up resolved.We'll see. In any event, thank you for taking the time to respond. I have just started using MOZ and I'm very impressed with this community!
Fetch Joy!

Sudden big drop in ranking - update, tech issue or penalty?
We are managing a website that was previously consistently ranking on P1 or top position on P2 and over the weekend (28th Jan) suddenly dropped to P5. What is the best way of ascertaining whether this was down to an update, a tech issue or a penalty? There are other pages on the site (sub-folders) which are still continuing to rank well on the site for similar kws. Regards,

Campaign status stock in status "Next Crawl in Progress!
Has anyone else had an issue laetly where the campaign status was stock in _ **"Next Crawl in Progress!" **_? One of our campaigns has been in this status for the page 2 1/2 days and this has not happened in the past as there are only 597 pages for this campaign to crawl. I send a help ticket request to the SEOMOZ team but was wondering if this is an isolated issue or if other community members have also experienced it? Thanks.

Does the SEOMoz weekly crawl that highlights no meta description tag, take into account if there is a meta robots noindex,follow tag on the pages it indicates the missing meta descriptions?
The weekly crawl website report is telling me that there are pages that have missing meta description tags, yet I've implemented meta robots tags to 'noindex, follow' those pages which are visible in those page source files. As far as Google Is concerned, surely this then won't be a problem since it is being instructed NOT to consider these specific pages for indexing. I am assuming that the weekly SEOmoz website crawl is simply throwing the missing meta description crawl findings into its report without itself observing that the particluar URL references contain the meta robots 'noindex,follow' tag ???? Appreciate if you can clairfy if this is the case. It would help me understand that (at least in terms of my efforts towards Google) your own crawl doesn't observe the meta robots tag instruction, hence the resultant report's flagging the discrepancy.

Canonical issue in open site explorer
When I look at my back links in OSE, I see two landing pages on my site that are really the same page. www.mysite.com/ and www.mysite.com/(affiliate code here) These show different inbound link characteristics and page authority. The page in question has a rel=canonical tag. Am I doing something wrong?

SEOMoz only crawling 5 pages of my website
Hello, I've added a new website to my SEOmoz campaign tool. It only crawls 5 pages of the site. I know the site has way more pages then this and also has a blog. Google shows at least 1000 results indexed. Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that the site is preventing a proper crawl? Thanks Bill
