PageSpeed Insights DNS Issue
-
Hi
Anyone else having problems with Google's Pagespeed tool? I am trying to benchmark a couple of my sites but, according to Google, my sites are not loading. They will work when I run them through the test at one point but if I try again, say 15 mins later, they will present the following error message
An error has occured
DNS error while resolving DOMAIN. Check the spelling of the host, and ensure that the page is accessible from the public Internet. You may refresh to try again.
If the problem persists, please visit the PageSpeed Insights mailing list for support.
This isn't too much an issue for testing page speed but am concerned that if Google is getting this error on the speed test it will also get the error when trying to crawl and index the pages.
I can confirm the sites are up and running. I the sites are pointed at the server via A-records and haven't been changed for many weeks so cannot be a dns updating issue. Am at a loss to explain.
Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for looking at the issue. There should be four working nameservers. I have four set in both WHM and at my domain registrar. I added two more two (3 and 4) so maybe they are taking a while to resolve around the web.
Will look at the SOA, thanks. Server and domain set up isn't at the top of my skill set. The domain you mention in this thread is just a testing domain to see what happens with a certain kind of content so it hasn't been treated too seriously to be honest.

It looks like you have some NS problems according to IntoDNS. The largest issue is that you have 4 nameservers listed with your registrar but only 2 are listed in your DNS.
~]$ dig NS yoactive.co.uk
;; ANSWER SECTION:
yoactive.co.uk. 86400 IN NS ns2.ccgdigitalmarketing.com.
yoactive.co.uk. 86400 IN NS ns1.ccgdigitalmarketing.com.You should have a NS record for each DNS server. Also, your SOA is set to expire in... 5 weeks?! That's crazy long.
If you can't get this resolved with your host, you can always try CloudFlare, a free DNS + proxy service.

thanks, very useful tool. None of my domains passed but i can still access them. Will try moving away from A record set up and use nameservers instead

Hi, you can check your dns config here:
http://dnscheck.pingdom.com. If problems with resolving your domain. ask you hostingprovider to set the dns right. otherwise you have to do it yourself in you hosting configuration tool like direct admin or plex.
Grtz, Leonie

Duplicate content issues... en-gb V en-us
Hi everyone, I have a global client with lots of duplicate page issues, mainly because they have duplicate pages for US, UK and AUS... they do this because they don't offer all services in all markets, and of course, want to show local contact details for each version. What is the best way to handle this for SEO as clearly I want to rank the local pages for each country. Cheers

Indexing Issue of Dynamic Pages
Hi All, I have a query for which i am struggling to find out the answer. I unable to retrieve URL using "site:" query on Google SERP. However, when i enter the direct URL or with "info:" query then a snippet appears. I am not able to understand why google is not showing URL with "site:" query. Whether the page is indexed or not? Or it's soon going to be deindexed. Secondly, I would like to mention that this is a dynamic URL. The index file which we are using to generate this URL is not available to Google Bot. For instance, There are two different URL's. http://www.abc.com/browse/ --- It's a parent page.
Technical SEO | | SameerBhatia
http://www.abc.com/browse/?q=123 --- This is the URL, generated at run time using browse index file. Google unable to crawl index file of browse page as it is unable to run independently until some value will get passed in the parameter and is not indexed by Google. Earlier the dynamic URL's were indexed and was showing up in Google for "site:" query but now it is not showing up. Can anyone help me what is happening here? Please advise. Thanks0 -

Duplicate Content Issue WWW and Non WWW
One of my sites got hit with duplicate content a while ago because Google seemed to be considering hhtp, https, www, and non ww versions of the site all different sites. We thought we fixed it, but for some reason https://www and just https:// are giving us duplicate content again. I can't seem to figure out why it keeps doing this. The url is https://bandsonabudget.com if any of you want to see if you can figure out why I am still having this issue.

Changing DNS -- SEO implications?
Hey Moz, We're migrating an old site on an old server over to a new server/DNS. The plan is to keep the same URL structure and reuse our existing URL's. As long as we make minimal changes to each page's content, we should be able to update our DNS entry and get all the pages recreated and assigned to their correct URLs without any reduction in SEO rankings. Is this correct? This site gets a lot of organic traffic and ranks highly on some challenging keywords, so it's key that we retain our rankings as much as possible. I've read that it's wise to lower the DNS time-to-live to one hour, about a day before the move, to help Google crawl the DNS a little quicker. Are there any other recommendations you guys can offer or past experiences?
