In that case, You might have to look at the pointers given by the Moz team. The links pointing to your page might need to be evaluated and checked. Check if there is any change on the anchor text, linking images etc. Use the link explorer to check the historical changes.

No,
I have not made any changes in past 2 weeks.
But I am worried all my metrics are increasing for all of the page.
Page Authority has decreased for a particular page only. -
Hi there!
Jo from the Moz help team here.
While it can't be hard to say for certain why your PA decreased I can offer some guidance for how you can research what has happened here.
Domain Authority is our best prediction about how content would perform in search engine rankings on one site vs. another. Page Authority answers the same question for an individual page. Both are amalgamations of all the link metrics we have combined into a single, predictive score.
Your score can decrease if there was a reduction on the number of equity passing back links to those pages, have you lost any links or disavowed any links recently?
It's important to note that both Domain Authority and Page Authority are on a 100-point, logarithmic scale. So you authority could decrease as our index grows and we locate more equity passing links to other sites - even if you gain more backlinks.
We recommend keeping track of how many linking domains you have in the discovered and lost section of Link Explorer or the Links section of your campaign, as this will be a quick way to confirm possible reasons for an increase or decrease in the score.
To get the most out of the authority scores we recommend comparing with competitors’. By measuring the distance between these scores, and tracking the change over time, you'll be able to identify if you're improving relative to the sites that really matter — your direct SEO competitors. We also recommend keeping track of how many linking root domains you have from index update to index update, as this will be a quick way to confirm possible reasons for an increase or decrease in the score.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if you would like more clarification or have any other queries.

Minor updates like these can be part of the game, but did you make any changes in the past few weeks?

Raising Domain Authority
Hi everyone, I'm looking to find out if there are any tried and tested ways to raise DA. We have regular articles, a good backlink profile, we post regularly to social media, but we seem to be stuck at DA27. One of our competitors who has no real backlinks, only backlinks from citations and no social media posts has a DA of 31 which we find quite confusing. Thanks in advance!

Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"
This has been asked many times but I cannot find an answer. On Open Site Explorer, most URLs I enter show as "No title" which means you have to hover over the URL to see which page is being referred to. I know you'd want an example, so here's your own site Moz.com 🙂 CWrkxZQ

Why Page Authority = 1
Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time-submitter. I'm working with a client who has an old, established domain and brand name, decent DA score (43 overall, 52 for their home page), but almost all the rest of the pages of their small-ish website have a PA of 1. The domain itself has been around since 2000. The pages ranking at a 1 are not new URLs, they have a sitemap submitted to Google, are not being blocked by robots.txt, there's no auto-redirects or meta-refresh, and the response code for all pages is 200. What else am I missing? What could be causing this? TIA for the help!

Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console
I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?
