Why do I have so many site crawl issues with my site?
-
Hi there,
Our website is www.mormonhub.com. We have many other websites that we own as well. For some reason, our website has tens of thousands of Site Crawl Issues. We have tried looking into what's causing the problem, but can't figure it out. We do use Wordpress for our website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Will do. Thank you very much, Sam!

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
There can be a variety of crawl errors occurring for a fairly varied amount of reasons so it's a little hard to isolate without looking directly at the Site Crawl data within your campaign. Could you please pop an email over to help@moz.com, and include the name of the affected campaign so that we can take a look into exactly what errors are popping up and what may be causing those?
Looking forward to hearing from you!

"New" issues not previously found being shown?
I'm not sure what logic Moz is using for its reporting of Site Crawl issues, but it appears to be pretty flawed (unless I'm missing something, which is possible). I've got a client site that has been in Moz for about 6 months now. Every time the crawler runs, the same number of pages are reported as having been crawled. However I'm consistently getting "New Issues" reported that should have been reported during previous crawls. Example: A redirect chain was reported several month ago. The referring URL was the homepage of the website, and we tracked it down to an old link in the header. This was fixed, marked as resolved, and the issue was not shown on the next crawl. Several weeks later, the same issue was reported for a different page on the website - a page which has existed since 2014 and was already crawled many times. Again, we fixed. Fast-forward to the report that just ran on 12/1 and we have the same issue reported, for a different page, which has also existed for years and has been previously crawled. It's very hard to explain to a client "this item you are seeing has been resolved", only to have it continually crop back up in future reports. Note this is not limited to redirect chains - that's just an example. I'm seeing this for other items such as missing canonicals, duplicate titles, etc.

Rogerbot will not crawl my site! Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https version but still getting the same error! What can I do?
Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http://www.flogas.co.uk/) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https://www.flogas.co.uk/ version but still getting the same error! What can I do? I want to use Moz for everything rather than continuing to use a separate auditing tool!

How do I go about fixing my High Priority issues that SEO moz says I have on a PHP site?
I am been trying to deal with this problem for some time now. I have talked to several IT people and SEO moz. None seem to know how to fix these issues on the type of site our company is. Our biggest issue with is Duplicate Page Content. We also have some title issues. Our site is built with PHP coding and variable, meaning the site is not a typical static website. We have a handful of pages that are dynamic depending on what the users chooses to see and do. So, my problem is I can't just go to a specific page and put the canonical or the redirect. It isn't multiple pages for our category pages, for example, it is just one that builds the page depending on the search. Please help!

FollowerWonk Issue?
Used followerwonk to do a Comparison of followers of my brand and two competitors. the question I have is Retweets, Contacts, and URL tweets are broken in percentages all equaling 100%, but how are these calculated to begin with? are each of the three categories compared to social authority or to each other? Basically, I ran it on my brand and it says there are 0% of retweets, when I know there are at least 6 retweets done by the brand.

Crawl Test cannot be seen on my PC. Using Windows 8.
I received and downloaded my Crawl Test. When I try to open it, my pc says "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". I'm running Windows 8. Can I view my Crawl Test with my PC? Is there a work-around for this issue? Update I can apparently open my Crawl Test and view it as an Excel Spreadsheet. But when I download it and choose Save As, it saves it as a MS-DOS Application. This is my very first Crawl Test and I am not sure if I am doing everything right.

Blocked Production Site from Search Engines - How to get it Crawled by Moz Crawler
I have an 'under development' site hosted, (which is an exact replica of live site as working on to add new functionalities & modules) - but its password protected, excluded from robots.txt (Disallow) & also marked noindex on all pages in the index - so that Googlebot & other Search Engines can not crawl the site At present the development work is almost 95% completed., Now - feel like to crawl the site through SEOMOZ Roger Bot - to know the errors and all indexed urls by Rogerbot. What's the best way to get Moz Bot crawl the site - but simultaneously continue it blocking its access to Search Engines I have gone through - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93708?hl=en, it says a) Save it in a password-protected directory. Googlebot and other spiders won't be able to access the content- But this way Moz will also not be able to crawl the site b) Use a robots.txt to control access to files and directories on your server - However it also says - It's important to note that even if you use a robots.txt file to block spiders from crawling content on your site, Google could discover it in other ways and add it to our index. c) Use a noindex meta tag to prevent content from appearing in our search results - It also says that a link to the page can still appear in their search results. Because we have to crawl your page in order to see the noindex tag, there's a small chance that Googlebot won't see and respect the noindex meta tag Password Protected thus seems the best way to continue blocking. However, continuing with it will also block Moz bot to crawl the site. Any suggestions Thanks
