On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
-
Hi!,
I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help!
I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/
However if I edit this to https the search completes fine.
Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk?
Thanks!

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the reply! I think that helps (in the sense I now know how messy our site structure is...). As I think any more conversation will get very site specific, I'll continue this with moz help

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I had a chance to peek at the URL that you've provided (http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/) and it appears that this URL currently has a 302 redirect in place and is redirecting to this URL: http://www.orbussoftware.com:80/us/enterprise-architecture/.
When you pull this URL up in a browser, it's directing fine, but your site is treating our tool differently when we attempt to access it.
Another thing I noticed, too, is that you also have a https:// version of your site and when we plug the URL https://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ not only does that resolve OK in a browser, but it works with the On-Page Grader as well. So, you have two different versions of your site that are configured differently when handling requests from us.
I'd recommend reaching out to your web developer to see if there's anything they can do to help out with the above.
I hope this helps but feel free to reach out to our team directly at help@moz.com if you find out there's anything further we can assist with - and sorry for the inconvenience!

HI thanks for the reply.
I don't think I was clear, that URL works fine, its the on-page grader that doesn't recognise it and requires me to edit it to https before it recognises it as accessible. So, I'm copy-pasting the url when I'm on our enterprise architecture page directly into the onpage grader, and that's when I get the error.

I'm having no trouble accessing the site via the link you provided. Might be a caching issue on your browser.

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

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

On-Page Grader "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible."
We have a new client with a squarespace page. http://www.mountainhouseestate.com The Moz On-Page grader returns the error "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for all pages. Possibly related, Google seems to hate their site. Even a search for "mountain house estate" returns lousy results. Bing/Yahoo has no problem with it.

Moz is finding phantom pages
I suddenly have 4xx errors in my crawl diagnostics because pages with “/%3C/div” added to the end of the URL that are linked from the normal page can't be found. I didn't create the pages, and they don't exist, but Moz thinks that they do. I went back through to see if any changes in WordPress, theme or plugins versions might be the cause, but this is the only site that I have this issue, so I don't think that is it. Does anyone have an idea what causes this?

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.

Can't get on page grader to work properly.
Hi I'm trying to optimize my pages with the on page grader tool but it keeps returning an F grade when I know my page is very well optimized. It is like something is blocking the page crawl but I have double checked my robots.txt and can't think of anything else that is causing a problem. I am trying to do www.hydrohobby.co.uk with the keyword hydroponics for starters but it is the same problem with all other page urls on my site and keywords I try to input. This is a new site made with cscart 4.0. I've graded pages on previous versions of this software with no problems. Can anyone help? Rob

Moz / more changes on the way?
I love Moz and the community and all the tools here. I admit I haven't rolled around in all the new things rolled out a few months ago. I thought there were more changes on the way but I wasn't sure if those already happened and I missed them or if I need to be patient? Affiliate program, client reporting? Thanks for any response. Have a great weekend! Matthew

Error for a page that doesn't exist.
Hi, I'm just trailing this service, and I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help with. 1. I am getting a high priority error regarding a page not being able to be crawled - a 4XX error. Problem is, there is no such page in existence. The URL is my site/comments/feed It's driving me crazy. 2. I'm also getting errors based on missing meta tags in blog posts. I am adding tags at the time of posting, so I am unsure why these errors are showing up. Actually, I didn't add tags to all posts - but there are errors on ALL posts, even those I added tags to. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!!! Hugh
