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 still in process for 3 days. Not sure why the site isn't being crawled
I added a new site to the crawl, but it seems to be stalled. It was supposed to crawl Feb 19, but it is still in process Feb 22. It tried to crawl the site and there was a robots.txt issue, but that issue was resolved way before the 19th. Not sure what is going on. this is for the clear lake campaign.

"Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site."
Hi Mozzers! I've received an error message saying the site can't be crawled because Moz is unable to access the robots.txt. I've spoken to the webmaster and he can't understand why the robot.txt can't be accessed as this seems to be fine: https://k3syspro.com/robots.txt and Google isn't flagging anything up to us. Does anyone know why this may be? Thanks, Matthew

SEO Campaign for testing site?
We are in the process of a website redesign and have initiated an SEO campaign on the current site to set benchmarks. Does it make sense for us to run a separate SEO campaign on the testing site as well? Michelle

Why is Moz Crawl Diagnostics labelling pages as duplicate when they appear to be different?
Moz Crawl Diagnostics is flagging some pages on the Doorfit website as duplicate, yet the page content is completely different and not identical. Example. Page: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/locks-security/secondary-security Duplicate: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/seals-and-sealants?cat=279 Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be the case? Thanks

Received emails about new ranking, crawl and on page reports, but nothing new shows.
Yesterday morning I had emails about updated crawl, ranking and on page reports being available however nothing in my dashboard is newer than 2/21. I waited through yesterday to see if things changed, logged in and out etc but nothing new has shown up. Any ideas on why that is the case?
