Unsolved Help with my 4xx Errors
-
Site Crawler has found a range of 4xx errors on my website. But, the urls aren't ones I've created and instead have the handle of my social channels attached to the end - and I've no idea how this has happened. Any tips or insights on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.! I've attached a screenshot below:

@fahimhabib87 thanks
I got in touch with my hosting site and they rectified it for me! Appreciate you taking your time to help me though -
It sounds like your website might be experiencing a form of URL injection, possibly due to a security vulnerability. To address this issue, consider implementing security measures such as input validation and sanitization, updating your website's software to the latest version, and monitoring your site for any suspicious activity. Additionally, review your server logs for any unusual requests and consider implementing redirects or blocking specific URLs if necessary. Consulting with a web security expert may also be beneficial in identifying and resolving the issue effectively.

Unsolved Moz Crawl seems to be stuck?
Hi all, It seems like moz has been stuck on crawling our site for a while now - I had a message of 'you will get a notification for when your site crawl is complete' for about 2 weeks now, and it doesn't seem to finish it? Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Crawling 4XX errors because of URL accented
Hello guys, I am experiencing crawling errors in Moz because the URLs read by spiders contain accents and special characters, which I know isn't best but yet my client needs to keep it. I know that Moz "uses percent encoding to parse the HTML in the source code, so any line breaks and spaces in your HTML links or sitemap links are converted to %0A and %20, causing a 404 error". Is there any way to avoid these errors happening in the dashboard? Or am I supposed to simply ignore it?

Can improving page authority on all pages help overall domain auth?
Our website is made up of approx 4000 pages - some of which are old pages with a pa of 1. I am removing these pages (ensuring they don't have links etc). Can removing so many low scoring and useless pages impact on domain authority. Our DA jumped 4 points and i wondered if this was helping Example 4000 pages in total 2500 have PA 1 - these get removed will it look better for DA that overall there are now no pages where PA =1 and the site now contains higher PA pages only?

Moz error with domain and page authority if no www in my domain
Hello, so our domain is website.com and we do not use www in our domain. Now moz shows our page authority as huge (website. Com) and domain authority very low. But our domain is our page that we rank. Is this due to the fact that we use no www and we rank our main index page? Am I correct? Thanks!

Open Site Explorer: Error receiving data
Hi, When searching many URLs in Open Site Explorer, we seem to be getting the same "There was an error getting your data" message come up instead of the URL's metrics and inbound links. We have tried on different browsers as well, and the same issue results. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this? Thank you! voPdqF5.png?1

804 error preventing website being crawled
Hi For both subdomains https://us.sagepub.com and https://uk.sagepub.com crawling is being prevented by a 804 error. I can't see any reason why this should be so as all content is served through https. Thanks

Does sitemap auto generation help in SEO 2015
Dear All, May be this is a common question in forum, but wanted to ask specifically for 2015. Does automatic site generators will help in SEO. I added a new website and google started crawling it, without adding sitemap.xml, So does it really matter to have sitemap or updating the sitemap. Thanks, Om
