We recently switched from HTTP to HTTPS and we are having crawling issues!
-
We switched our website from HTTP to HTTPS and we started to get an email from Moz about the robots.txt being unable to crawl our website. The website is hosted through wordpress but we haven't had any issues until we switched. We have no idea what to do or even what the problem is! If you have had a similar problem and fixed it, we need your help! Thank you.

I know this is an old thread, but we are still having the same problem. I finally got around to sending a note to flywheel about this problem and it came back that everything is fine. I am not sure what to do here? It's on a shared hosted, so I don't have console\audit log access, however Flywheel is one of the best wordpress hosting companies out there (only thing they do).
As far as accessing the robots.txt file, I can go directly to it without any problems?

Hi there!
Thanks so much for reaching out! I'm sorry you're having trouble!
I took a look at your crawl data and your site to see if I could figure out the issue. When I first tried to access your robots.txt file from a browser, it returned an error saying there were too many redirects in place. I checked to see what our crawler was receiving from your server and looks like it keeps being served a 301 redirect which points back to itself. However, when I tried to access the file from a browser a bit later, it loaded without a problem. I'm wondering if you can check your server logs to see what your server is sending back to our crawler Rogerbot?
If you could send any further info over to help@moz.com, that would be great! That way we can do some more digging and see what's going on.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’d like to set up a Moz campaign that crawls just the primary website, not subdomains
Is this something you could help with? (it either bombs or crawls everything, so I assume I’m missing something in the campaign settings, or it’s just not possible.

Moz site crawl doesn't work
The Moz site crawl isn't working for my campaign, but works for the site's on demand crawl. The search should not be disallowed by robots.txt or the headers. I'd like to be able to track the website for the campaign so I can see SEO gains / losses and increases / decreases in indexing.

901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
Hi Everyone, I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them. I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank? Do you have recommendations or ideas? Thanks so much. Pages with Crawl Attempt Error as of Mar 3 URL Page Authority Linking Root Domains Status Code | Error Code 901: DNS Errors Prevented Crawler from Resolving Hostname http://www.santabarbarachocolate.comhttp/www.santabarbarachocolate.com/100-percent-pure-cacao-unsweetened-baking-chocolate -- -- 901 Error Code 901: DNS Errors Prevented Crawler from Resolving Hostname http://www.santabarbarachocolate.comhttp/www.santabarbarachocolate.com/buy-wholesale-bulk-chocolate -- -- 901 Error Code 901: DNS Errors Prevented Crawler from Resolving Hostname http://www.santabarbarachocolate.comhttp/www.santabarbarachocolate.com/organic-chocolate-wholesale | -- | -- | 901 |

How do you "Moz Crawl" a website? Newbie...
Hi everyone; I've used Screaming Frog in the past and it's simple: you enter the URL to the box and click "start" and.. voila: as the button says, the crawling starts. I've had the Pro version of Moz for a while now and haven't really 'done' anything with it. I'd like to crawl a website and thought it would be as easy as it's always been with Screaming Frog... but, for some reason, I can't find the 'way' to do it. I find it really frustrating especially cause I feel like an idiot going around in circles thinking I'm missing something really obvious... Until I realised the only solution was to ask here! So... how in the world do you crawl a website using Moz tools? (Pro version) Thanks!
