Get the YOAST SEO plugin and it will canonical your site properly, noindex your tags pages and add rel prev/next tags to your paginated pages for you in addition to helping you with a lot of other SEO elements on your WP site.

Hi Paul
I really appreciate your answer, thanks!!
I can fix the long title errors and the missing meta description but the duplicate page error I think is because im using wordpress it seems to create pages based on tags or page/3/ etc etc...
Any ideas how to fix this duplicate content issue?

Looks like the instructions are on the right hand side of the image you've attached.
Going from the data, you have almost 175 Missing Meta Descriptions! Lets start from the top.
"Missing meta Description tag" - This is what text people see when they search for your website, very important. Go to your HTML and add your description in the section, your looking for .
Note: Do not actually add that.
"Duplicate page Content" - This is what it says on the tin! You have copied content all over your website, a famous example of this would be a footer or header which is the same throughout your 100 page website! Spice it up a little, move the words around slightly or better yet add new content to each page, not much, but just a bit.
"Title Element Too Long" - The title of this page would be 'How do I fix these errors'. The title of your page is apparently HUGE, remember, less is more when it comes to Keyword Stuffing. You need to shortern the titles, better yet, make them all unique. For example, instead of a title being: "Paul's Amazingly fantastic Bean and Potato shop" on ALL pages, why not have "Pauls amazing potato shop" and 'Pauls fantastic bean shop' on different pages, unique content in titles is a great thing to do.
"Long URL > 150 Words" - Also, exactly what is says on the tin.
'why-would-anybody-ever-bother-to-ever-go-on-this-incredibly-boring-website-name.co.uk/bad'
Hope that helps!

Moz and HubSpot SSL - crawl error?
I'm getting an error message when Moz tries to crawl my site, however when I check in Google Search Console, they return no errors. Our site is hosted on HubSpot. Is Moz still having trouble crawling HubSpot sites that have enabled their SSL? I read an article that this should have been corrected in early 2017, but I'm getting an error.

I did a redirect and now I'm getting duplication errors.
I was told by SEO Moz to do a redirect so that our website would be crawled with and without the www in front of the address. I did and now I'm getting duplicate page and title errors because the crawler is seeing www.oursitename.com and its underpages and oursitename.com and its underpages and giving me duplicate page content errors and duplicate page title errors. Makes sense, but how do I make it stop? Anyone else have this problem?

What web page and domain analysis / error checking / testing tools do you use for competitor analysis? sites like webpagetest
Just wondering what everyone is using, I am looking to get as much insight and detail as I can on websites that are not currently being monitored by me... i.e. potential clients. I use tools like pagespeed, webpagetest, loadimpact and open site explorer, google adwords, ispionage, alexa, semrush and well, looking for more. I really just want to rip a website to the tiniest pieces possible in an organized and coherent manner... is there anything out there? I have tried several other's which i no longer use (compete, 4q, woopra, nuestar, to name a few), I am not sure if I know exactly what i want, i just want more.... damn the human condition. lol

Okay how do I fix this cannibalization error?
Okay so check it out. I already have the problem where my main page shows 3 of my posts of 3 popular posts and the SEOmoz optimization tool tells my there are like 60 keyword occurances? for the damn page so I had to make it look damn ugly for my views and lowered it to 1 post and 2 popular posts. Can I fix that? Another thing - The SEOMOZ tool keeps telling me I have this cannibalization crap on all my posts because my homepage in the upper left corner has the keyword in it and in the footer of the template, my homepage title shows up (Keyword). What the heck do I do to fix this? And also another question - I have my main page AND 1 of my posts ranking for the same keyword. Is there a problem?

Dismiss crawl diagnostics error
Hello everyone, Is there a way to dismiss some errors in the Crawl Diagnostics tool so they don't appear again? It happens so that some of the errors are never going to be fixed because of their nature. For example, 'Title too long' errors that point to some of the threads on my forum - it doesn't make sense to change the title of a thread posted by user just for the sake of the error disappearing from the 'Crawl Diagnostics' tool. 🙂 Otherwise the CD interface gets a little bit cluttered with errors which I will never fix anyway. I wonder how others deal with this problem. Thanks.
