902 Error and Page Size Limit
-
Hello,
I am getting a 902 error when attempting to crawl one of my websites that was recently upgraded to a modern platform to be mobile friendly, https, etc.
After doing some research it appears this is related to the page size. On Moz's 902 error description it states: "Pages larger than 2MB will not be crawled. For best practices, keep your page sizes to be 75k or less."
It appears all pages on my site are over 2MB because Rogbot is no longer doing any crawling and not reporting issues besides the 902. This is terrible for us because we purchased MOZ to track and crawl this site specifically.
There are many articles which show the average page size on the web is well over 2MB now: http://www.wired.com/2016/04/average-webpage-now-size-original-doom/
Due to that I would imagine other users have come up against this as well and I'm wondering how they handled it. I hope Moz is planning to increase the size limit on Rogbot as it seems we are on a course towards sites becoming larger and larger.
Any insight or help is much appreciated!

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
I'm so sorry that you're running into persistent 902 errors from your site crawl! Unfortunately, this is a technical limitation of our tools. We're in the process of building a bigger, badder, better crawler, but it isn't quite ready yet.
You're certainly not the first person to write in about this issue, so I'll be sure to take your feedback to our product team! The ability to crawl larger pages is going to be more and more important as time moves forward.
Thanks for writing in to let us know you were having issues! If you have follow-up questions or need any other help with the tools, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll get things sorted out for you.

How Can I Batch Upload URLs to get PA for many pages?
Howdy folks, I'm using advanced search operators to generate lists of long tail queries related to my niche and I'd like to take the batch of URLs I've gathered and upload them in a batch so I can see what the PA is for each URL. This would help me determine which long tail query is receiving the most love and links and help inform my content strategy moving forward. But I can't seem to find a way to do this. I went to check out the Moz API but it's a little confusing. It says there's a free version, but then it looks like it's actually not free, then I try to use it and it says I've gone over my limit even though I haven't used it yet. Anyone that can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. If you're familiar with SEMRush, they have a batch analysis tool that works well, but I ideally want to upload these URLs to Moz because it's better for this kind of research. Thanks!

On Page Grader - We have keyword in Meta Description But does not show up
The on-page grader is not counting/picking up the keyword in the meta description. We have double checked the meta description and re-uploaded the page, and checked the source code on-line. The keyword is there in meta description, but not showing up in on-page-grader. https://www.trustdeedrealestateinvesting.com/trimarkfunding/buy-first-trust-deeds.html keyword buy first trust deeds

Can't delete items from the on page grader
I check every single box and they don't delete. This is driving me nuts. Please can you delete them for me because I am not impressed with this AT ALL. In fact I am getting so cross I am in danger of screaming hysterically which might get me the sack and it would be all your fault. That was slightly tongue in cheek, but please can you fix it please. please.

My product pages have no weight / links from root domains with the Moz tool bar
Hi, When I view my home page (http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk) with the Moz toolbar, I see a good PA and a good amount of links from root domains. As I go down the site, it seems to get worse. The category pages (http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/Category/0/Straight_Foods.html) have a little but not much and then from this point onwards, it's nothing. The product page (http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/Item/Straight_Foods~Sunflower_Seeds/SUNH/Premium_Sunflower_Hearts.html) is reporting to have no root domain links but I am not sure why. Interestingly, when I click through to a review page (http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/StockReview/0/SUNH/0/Premium_Sunflower_Hearts.html) it does have some juice. Would anyone be able help on why this is happening and what I need to be looking at in order to resolve it please? EDIT: I've been looking at the hyperlinks and notice something odd. If I review the score with the first link below, it gives a score of 1, but the second gives a PA of 13 with one root domain linked. 1:http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/Item/Straight_Foods~Sunflower_Seeds/SUNH/Premium_Sunflower_Hearts.html 2:http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/Item/Straight_Foods%7ESunflower_Seeds/SUNH/Premium_Sunflower_Hearts.html Please note the "%7E" instead of the "~" in the URL. The browser appears to show the ~ character no matter what but the rank of the page changes. I don't understand what the Moz toolbar is doing with this. Note: This behaviour only happens in Mozilla Firefox, in chrome both the rankings are zero for each URL. Many Thanks.

I have been unable to use the export button on any of the Moz pages.
Every time I click the export button on the upper right portion of the page, it says "preparing to export", but either nothing is exported or a blank document is downloaded. I was specifically working with the Fresh Web Explorer but have noticed this on all pages. Is anyone getting this export function to work?
