Certainly, I understand your concern about MOZ only crawling the homepage of your website despite adding it correctly and requesting a full crawl of all pages. It's frustrating when testing a tool before subscribing, and not getting the expected results can raise doubts about its functionality. To address this issue, I recommend double-checking your website's settings within the MOZ platform. Ensure that the website URL provided matches the actual structure of your site and that there are no typos or errors in the input. Additionally, review MOZ's documentation or contact their customer support to confirm if there are specific settings or configurations needed for a comprehensive crawl. Sometimes, minor adjustments in the tool's settings or the website's structure can make a significant difference in the crawling process. I hope this helps, and I wish you success in resolving this matter and making an informed decision about your subscription. -
Crawling only the home page of your website is a common practice in web indexing and search engine optimization. This approach allows search engine bots to focus on your site's main landing page, ensuring that it's properly indexed and ranked. Here's how you can specify that only the home page should be crawled:
Robots.txt File,
Canonical Tag
Sitemap.xml,
Noindex Tags,
Meta Robots TagBy implementing these methods, you can direct search engine crawlers to focus primarily on your website's home page, ensuring that it receives the most attention in terms of indexing and ranking. This can be particularly useful if your home page is the most important and relevant page for your website's SEO strategy.

Hello,
There could be several reasons why MOZ is only crawling the homepage of your website, https://www.modelos-de-curriculum.com. Here are a few possibilities:
Robots.txt file: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it's not blocking MOZ's web crawlers from accessing other pages. Make sure there are no disallow rules that could restrict access to certain areas of your site.
Nofollow tags: Ensure that your website doesn't have "nofollow" tags on internal links that may be preventing MOZ from following and crawling those links.
JavaScript: If your website heavily relies on JavaScript for content rendering, MOZ may face difficulty crawling the content. Ensure that important content is accessible without JavaScript.
Canonical tags: Check for canonical tags in your website's HTML. If you have specified the homepage as the canonical page for all other pages, this could limit MOZ's ability to crawl additional pages.
Site structure: MOZ may have trouble crawling pages with complex or unconventional site structures. Ensure that your website follows standard navigation and linking practices.
Crawl settings: Double-check the settings in your MOZ account to confirm that you have requested a full site crawl, not just the homepage.
If you've verified all these aspects and MOZ is still not crawling your website correctly, you may want to reach out to their support team for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your account and settings.
Testing the tool before subscribing is a wise approach to ensure it meets your needs. I recommend contacting MOZ's support for personalized assistance in resolving the crawling issue with your website. (PMP Exam Prep) (Canada PR) (Study abroad) (Project Management Life Cycle)

Hello,
The reason Moz is only crawling the homepage of your website could be due to various factors. Here are a few possibilities:
Robots.txt File: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it doesn't block search engine crawlers from accessing specific pages.
Meta Robots Tags: Make sure there are no "noindex" meta tags on your internal pages that might prevent them from being indexed.
Crawl Restrictions: Moz may not have had enough time to crawl all the pages on your website. It might take some time for the tool to explore and index your entire site.
Sitemap: Ensure that your website's sitemap is correctly submitted to Moz. A sitemap helps search engines find and index all the pages on your site.
Internal Linking: Check if there are internal links from your homepage to other pages. A lack of internal links can make it harder for search engines to discover and crawl your site.
Access Permissions: Make sure there are no access restrictions or password protection on certain pages.
To resolve this issue and ensure Moz crawls all the pages of your website, consider checking and addressing these factors. If the problem persists, it might be helpful to reach out to Moz's customer support for specific assistance with your subscription trial.

Unsolved Crawler was not able to access the robots.txt
I'm trying to setup a campaign for jessicamoraninteriors.com and I keep getting messages that Moz can't crawl the site because it can't access the robots.txt. Not sure why, other crawlers don't seem to have a problem and I can access the robots.txt file from my browser. For some additional info, it's a SquareSpace site and my DNS is handled through Cloudflare. Here's the contents of my robots.txt file: # Squarespace Robots Txt User-agent: GPTBot User-agent: ChatGPT-User User-agent: CCBot User-agent: anthropic-ai User-agent: Google-Extended User-agent: FacebookBot User-agent: Claude-Web User-agent: cohere-ai User-agent: PerplexityBot User-agent: Applebot-Extended User-agent: AdsBot-Google User-agent: AdsBot-Google-Mobile User-agent: AdsBot-Google-Mobile-Apps User-agent: * Disallow: /config Disallow: /search Disallow: /account$ Disallow: /account/ Disallow: /commerce/digital-download/ Disallow: /api/ Allow: /api/ui-extensions/ Disallow: /static/ Disallow:/*?author=* Disallow:/*&author=* Disallow:/*?tag=* Disallow:/*&tag=* Disallow:/*?month=* Disallow:/*&month=* Disallow:/*?view=* Disallow:/*&view=* Disallow:/*?format=json Disallow:/*&format=json Disallow:/*?format=page-context Disallow:/*&format=page-context Disallow:/*?format=main-content Disallow:/*&format=main-content Disallow:/*?format=json-pretty Disallow:/*&format=json-pretty Disallow:/*?format=ical Disallow:/*&format=ical Disallow:/*?reversePaginate=* Disallow:/*&reversePaginate=* Any ideas?

Why MOZ just index some of the links?
hello everyone i've been using moz pro for a while and found a lot of backlink oppertunites as checking my competitor's backlink profile.
Link Building | | seogod123234
i'm doing the same way as my competitors but moz does not see and index lots of them, maybe just index 10% of them. though my backlinks are commenly from sites with +80 and +90 DA like Github, Pinterest, Tripadvisor and .... and the strange point is that 10% are almost from EDU sites with high DA. i go to EDU sites and place a comment and in lots of case, MOZ index them in just 2-3 days!! with maybe just 10 links like this, my DA is incresead from 15 to 19 in less than one month! so, how does this "SEO TOOL" work?? is there anyway to force it to crawl a page?0 -
Unsolved Rogerbot blocked by cloudflare and not display full user agent string.
Hi, We're trying to get MOZ to crawl our site, but when we Create Your Campaign we get the error:
Moz Pro | | BB_NPG
Ooops. Our crawlers are unable to access that URL - please check to make sure it is correct. If the issue persists, check out this article for further help. robot.txt is fine and we actually see cloudflare is blocking it with block fight mode. We've added in some rules to allow rogerbot but these seem to be getting ignored. If we use a robot.txt test tool (https://technicalseo.com/tools/robots-txt/) with rogerbot as the user agent this get through fine and we can see our rule has allowed it. When viewing the cloudflare activity log (attached) it seems the Create Your Campaign is trying to crawl the site with the user agent as simply set as rogerbot 1.2 but the robot.txt testing tool uses the full user agent string rogerbot/1.0 (http://moz.com/help/pro/what-is-rogerbot-, rogerbot-crawler+shiny@moz.com) albeit it's version 1.0. So seems as if cloudflare doesn't like the simple user agent. So is it correct the when MOZ is trying to crawl the site it uses the simple string of just rogerbot 1.2 now ? Thanks

Still no invite to site crawl beta! Why bother?
Well, I was informed that I was en-queue to be invited to the Moz Site Crawl v2. I have several client sites making use of SNI b/c, well... CDN's. What is the point of telling me I may receive an invitation shortly, then hearing nothing back and not being able to crawl their sites... this makes this service 100% useless as I can simply use a couple of different tools (free) to perform the same tasks... don't get me wrong... I would rather use Moz and this is not intended to flame the service as I think it could be great... if only it worked. I cannot justify the lack of response, nor the lack of service (what we intended to use here) for the price. It seems like this is simply a waiting game wherein Moz expects me to pay for this service and THEN I will receive my invite? Is it at all possible that anyone can look into this and/or my invite status. If I cannot sample these features before long, you've lost a solid potential client. (Not my loss)
