Need help fixing a duplicate content issue for my website. The moz crawl is show OMG my website with https:// and https://www. But I have never used the url https:// so I don’t understand why moz is showing this

Moz is showing my url with two different starts. Https:// and then the one I use https://www. The problem is I don’t think I have ever used the url without the www. at the start. How do I fix this?

Hi there,
Upon checking your site I see that you have two versions of your site available:
www. Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk
Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk
You should get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them to set up 301 redirect on the server level.
You should redirect
https://www. Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk ->https://Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk

Thanks for the response. my website is Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk
moz Also shows the https:// version has a better page authority than https://www.

The problem is that google is probably indexing the 2. You can correct that all accesses through https://www redirect you to https://. If you are being indexed by both, you will have a duplicate content problem. We do not know which is your website to investigate further ..
greetings

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

Duplicate content found in scan
On June 8th we ran a Moz Crawl on our site. We found 144 pages that were flagged with duplicate content.
Moz Bar | | StickyLife
Again on June 13th we ran another moz crawl on our site and found 137 pages that were flagged with duplicate content. Then one final scan on June 22nd with 161 pages of duplicate content. After comparing the 3 different scans I see that, without making any changes, pages that were not flagged as duplicate content are now being flagged as duplicate content. While at the same time, pages that were originally flagged as duplicate content are now no longer showing up with duplicate content. I could understand if we made some changes to these pages but no changes were made. For example: On the 8th this page was flagged as duplicate content - https://www.stickylife.com/star-magnet
On the 13th and 22nd it was not flagged as duplicate content but no changes were made to that page. For reference it was flagged as duplicate content with the following page: https://www.stickylife.com/baseball-glove-magnet This page was also Not changed or altered between between these dates. In addition, when Moz scans our site through our campaign every Friday the results do not match what we see when we do a manual scan. Moz's weekly scan only reveals 14 pages with duplicate content as opposed to the numbers you see above. Why such inconsistencies in the Moz Scans?0 -
Duplicate page found with MOZ crawl test?
When I crawl my website www.radiantguard.com, the crawl test comes back with what appears to be a duplicate of my home page: http://www.radiantguard.com and http://www.radiantguard.com/ Does the crawler indeed see two different pages and therefore, are my search engine rankings potentially affected, AND is this because of how my rel canonical is set up?

Www.site.com linking to pages www10.site.com
The root domain of the website in question is www.site.com but all subpages are on the subdomain www10.site.com (I'm pretty sure it's a subdomain, at least, used for load balancing?). A funny thing happens on this site with the moz toolbar. I visit a subpage, www10.site.com/articles/articletopic1 That page has a lot of links on it, all of them visibly going to the subdomain www10.site.com. However, the moz toolbar shows some of them as Internal links and most of them as External links. As far as I can tell, there is no real rhyme or reason to the difference between the links that are highlighted as Internal vs. External. The link structures vary greatly: Some are properly structured www10.site.com/blogs/category
Moz Bar | | Motava
And some are poor like www10.site.com/articles/show_articles.php?section=category1 So a couple questions here: Does this subdomain www10 have a detriment on the rankings of subpages?
What could possibly cause the internal links on these subpages to be highlighted as external pages with the moz toolbar?1 -
Moz reporting for C-Blocking
Hey Mozers, I see Moz has a reporting tool for C-blocking and for november I had 330. Does this mean 330 Ip addresses came from the same location in the month of november?

Connect to Google Analytics problem (Moz Analytics)
Hello - I recently received the Beta invite to Moz Analytics (very excited). I set up the campaign for our primary site and entered our Google Analytics profile - however, Moz does not seem to accept the profile when I click the "Save" button. All of our profiles are listed w/in the drop-down menu, but after selecting the profile we wish to link/connect to - nothing happens. So we're not receiving any stats w/in Moz from our GA acct. Please help. I'm really anxious to begin delving into Moz Analytics! Thanks

Moz showing warnings for each dynamic link despite canonicalization?
As you can see in the attached image, Moz is showing a warning for each dynamic URL despite a rel=canonical tag. Is this by design? If so, it is frustrating seeing as it is really just the one page with many links . . . 9h5oDmr.png
