Moz crawling http rather than https site
-
Our site is secure but when I ask moz to crawl it by giving the root domain including https moz insists on crawling the non secure version. How do i force it to crawl the secure version?
-
Hey, thanks for reaching out!
Yes Moz will always start at the HTTP level, however that doesn't stop us from crawling HTTPS, if you have proper redirection in place. Unfortunately there isn't a way to "force" the crawler, we will crawl the entire domain (or scope that is designated).
Let us know if you have further questions!

Can i Force opensiteexplorer to crawl a url?
Hello. I check the QA and didnt find an answer to this. I've check one link on my site which is indexed by google but not by mozopensite explorer. If i search the url i find it on google but not i nopen site explorer. This only means that open site explorer havent find it. IF google index that page this means i'm getting the juice? My question is if google index a page for sure it follow one of the links (follow link). This is importan for me since this is my best DA link, probably a game changer for us. Also, Is there a Way to force opensiteexplorer to crawl this page? Thank you.

Moz can't crawl domain due to IP Geo redirect loop
Hi, I'm trying to crawl our domain www.salvationarmy.org.au via my Moz account and it only ever returns results for one page when it should be crawling more than 3,000 pages. In talking to support, they have said that because of the redirect we have in place it is creating a 302 loop and therefore not delivering results. Usually in this case I would obtain Moz's IP addresses and add them to the redirect settings as an exception, but Moz have said they use cloud-based services for crawling so the IPs change all the time. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? At this point I've paid for a year's subscription to a product I can't use. Thanks, Mel

What could have caused Total links to drop from 860,000 to 93,127 in Open Site Explorer?
I've been monitoring root domain total links for a website over the past couple of months and recently noticed a significant drop at the beginning of July.Specifically, I have been tracking the total links for the root domain using open site explorer. Since April the total number or links has been fluctuating among 860,000 - 865,000. However at the beginning of July, they dropped to 93,127 and now sit only at 110,831.This is a very significant and troubling decrease and I am wondering what the cause could be? Did Moz change the way they report/determine the total link metrics? It is especially baffling since neither total internal nor total external links have seen significant decreases.
