Site Crawl Status code 430
-
Hello,
In the site crawl report we have a few pages that are status 430 - but that's not a valid HTTP status code. What does this mean / refer to?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#4xx_Client_errorsIf I visit the URL from the report I get a 404 response code, is this a bug in the site crawl report?
Thanks,
Ian.

Which, of course, you can't do in Shopify.
Maybe we should just collectively get on Shopify to implement this by default.

It's all in this help document:
https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot
"Crawl Delay To Slow Down Rogerbot
We want to crawl your site as fast as we can, so we can complete a crawl in good time, without causing issues for your human visitors.
If you want to slow rogerbot down, you can use the Crawl Delay directive. The following directive would only allow rogerbot to access your site once every 10 seconds:
User-agent: rogerbot
Crawl-delay: 10"
So you'd put the specified rule in your robots.txt file

This is happening to a client of mine too. Is there a way to set my regular MOZ Pro account to crawl the site slower?
-
This is a common issue with Shopify hosted stores, see this post:
It seems to be related to crawling speed. If a bot crawls your site too fast, you'll get 430s.
It may also be related to the proposed, 'additional' status code 430 documented here:
"430 Request Header Fields Too Large
This status code indicates that the server is unwilling to process the request because its header fields are too large. The request MAY be resubmitted after reducing the size of the request header fields."
I'd probably look at that Shopify thread and see if anything sounds familiar

@Angler - yeah thought the same - but why not log it as a 403 in the report. The site is hosted on Shopify - so don't get access to logs unfortunately.
Was wandering if it was related to rate limiting as in a few cases it's a false positive and page loads fine.
Have emailed Eli - thanks,
Best.
Ian.

Crawl test
I used to use the crawl test tool to crawl websites and it presented the information in a really useful hierarchy of pages. The new on-demand crawl test doesn't seem to do this. Is there another tool I should be using to get the data?

Crawling issue
Hello,
Product Support | | Benjamien
I have added the campaign IJsfabriek Strombeek (ijsfabriekstrombeek.be) to my account. After the website had been crawled, it showed only 2 crawled pages, but this site has over 500 pages. It is divided into four versions: a Dutch, French, English and German version. I thought that could be the issue because I only filled in the root domain ijsfabriekstrombeek.be , so I created another campaign with the name ijsfabriekstrombeek with the url ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl . When MOZ crawled this one, I got the following remark:
**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Feb 21, 2018. **Your page redirects or links to a page that is outside of the scope of your campaign settings. Your campaign is limited to pages with ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl in the URL path, which prevents us from crawling through the redirect or the links on your page. To enable a full crawl of your site, you may need to create a new campaign with a broader scope, adjust your redirects, or add links to other pages that include ijsfabriekstrombeek.be/nl. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have checked the robots.txt and that is fine. There are also no robots meta tags in the code, so what can be the problem? I really need to see an overview of all the pages on the website, so I can use MOZ for the reason that I prescribed, being SEO improvement. Please come back to me soon. Is there a possibility that I can see someone sort out this issue through 'Join me'? Thanks0 -
Crawl error robots.txt
Hello, when trying to access the site crawl to be able to analyze our page, the following error appears: **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Nov 15, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Can help us? Thanks!

Receiving 4XX status codes
_Can someone help explain this error and the best fix for it. The host says the script maybe looking for an SSL but that made low/no sense. Your input it greatly appreciated. 4XX status codes (i.e., a 404 Not Found error) are shown when the client requests a page that cannot be accessed. This is usually the result of a bad or broken link. These issues should be kept to a minimum if possible. Make sure no internal links on your site are broken. For external links to your site, try contacting the linking site's owner and asking them to fix or update the link. _
