Why isn't the Moz crawler getting all of my item pages?
-
I am stumped and Moz is being terrible to work with.
This site has about 40k pages
39,800 of them are item pages roughly.
Moz is only finding about 2400 of my pages. So they are missing most but not all of my item pages.
I do not know which item pages they are missing.
The fact that they are finding about 2k but not the rest leads me to believe the crawler is struggling with pagination.
The site is built on Magento 2 and uses the Amasty Layered Navigation extension.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Meghan from Moz pointed out I had Disallow: /*? in the robots.txt and that appears to have been the problem. It is the default Magento 2 setting, so not sure why they had that in there.

Hi Tyler, are you setting your pagination pages as nofollow? That might be causing the issue. Any chance you can post the URL and we can try crawling the site to see if we hit any issues with a crawlers like screaming frog?

804 : HTTPS (SSL) error encountered when requesting page.
Hi there, I am attempting a crawl test and am getting "804 : HTTPS (SSL) error encountered when requesting page." with no further information to debug the issue. Site seems to be fine as far as SSL configuration goes. How can we get more debugging information? Thanks,

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://support@ihasco.co.uk and http://enquiries@ihasco.co.uk Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Why do i get multiple variations of my url with ?order=asc and ?view=list at the end of it in my crawl report?

GA snippets for subdomains and best tracking in MOZ
Hey there, I have a blog running at blog.URL.com. I need to add Google Analytics and I want to track the value of this subdomain as separate from the main URL. Can I do that? If I do a unique snippet in the header of the blog is that the right way to go? The main site is on an antiquated CMS system and will be converted over the next few months to a full on WP site, does that change anything long-term? Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers, Lisa

Problem Downloading Crawl Error Report PDF's
I am trying to download the PDF reports for the various 'crawl errors' - now some of them are quite large but would that justify why I am unable to download - the error is a straightforward one, see attached. Any ideas? Andy aDlViIN

Does anyone else have issues with Moz's keyword search volume tool for Google's search engine?
It will show the search volume for Bing even when Google is selected. Then, if you select Bing, you'll get the same data as it shows for when you selected "google". So basically, this tool does not work for Google's search engine. Or it is most likely not a reliable way to perform keyword research. Anyone else notice this? Does Moz even offer a way to submit a support ticket to get this fixed?

New website launched 3 weeks ago but not sure what Moz Analysis is telling me?
Hi 3 weeks ago I re-branded and completely changed the proposition on www.over50choices.co.uk as the URL is appropriate to the proposition. And whilst it looks good I am unsure what the Moz Tools are telling me, other than it doesnt look good? There should be about 163 pages, but Moz reports over 500 due to i think so many 301's? Plus most pages under the HTTP Status reports No Data! Most of the the 404's are from the old site. Webmaster Tools say 163 pages submitted but only 2 indexed, but on site:search it says about 117 but 40+ of these are the old site. It looks a mess...! Sleepless nights have started - any thoughts!? Thanks Ash

Hello, If at http://ranktracker.moz.com trying to track phrase KW - the system wont accept it. But adding [EXACT] match with [] - works well. Have I missed something? Cheers.
