605 : Page banned by robots.txt

Hello everyone,
I need experts help here, Please suggest, I am receiving crawl errors for my site that is , X-Robots-Tag: header, or tag.
my robots.txt file is:
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Hey there! I just followed up on the message you sent into our help team, but I wanted to also post the answer here for reference.
It looks like the robots.txt file may have recently been changed for the site because I created a new campaign for the subdomain and I am not getting that same error. You should no longer see this error on your next campaign update or you could create a new campaign and you would no longer see the error there.
I did notice that you ran a number of crawl tests on the site since the campaign update, but the important thing to realize is that the crawl test can be cached for up to 48 hours. (I removed the crawls in this version of the screenshot for privacy.) We also cache the crawl tests from campaign crawls, so it looks like the first crawl test you ran on the 29th was cached from your campaign crawl and the two subsequent crawl tests were cached from that first crawl test.
Again, I wanted to note that it looks like there are only links to about 2 other pages (terms and privacy) that are on the specific subdomain you are tracking, so we aren't able to crawl beyond those pages. When you limit a campaign to a specific subdomain, we can only access and crawl links that are within the same subdomain.

I am at a lost, I can't find the issue. Let us know what Moz says.

I actually have come across a handful URLs that are NoIndex, I'll DM you a list once complete.
I can't be certain this is the root of the problem (I've never seen this error in the crawl report), but based on the error you said you're getting, I believe it's a great starting point.

Hi Logan Ray
thank you for detailed guide, all tools bot are working perfectly except moz's. My robots meta is index, follow and my robots.txt is disallow for none for all user agents. Still there is confusion that why moz is showing crawl error. I have now emailed to moz. Let's see what they reply. I will share that.
thank you

Hi,
This sounds like it's more related to the meta robots tag, not the robots.txt file.
Try this:
- Run a Screaming Frog crawl on your site
- Once complete, go to the Directives tab
- Look for 'NoIndex' in the 'Meta Robots 1' column (should be the 3rd column)
- If you see anything marked with that tag, remove them - unless of course you need them there for a reason, in which case you should also block that page in your robots.txt file
-
Are you able to provide a link to site (DM me if you don't want it posted on the forum)

I am receiving crawl error for moz only.
There is no error at google's search console. Also, I have tested at google's robots.txt testing tool. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/robots-testing-too
My robots.txt file is with no slash.
User-agent: *
Disallow: -
Hi Bhomes,
Try clearing you robots.txt of any content, a robots.txt with:
User-agent: *
Disallow:/
Is blocking everything from crawling your site. See: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062598?hl=en for testing and more details on robots.txt

URL inaccessible for On Page Grader
I am trying to use the on page grader however it is not working with my website. The URL is as follows: https://capbeast.com. I have been trying to read in older posts to see if https is now supported or not but have not found anything. I know there is no robots.txt issue as I am able to run the crawl test on our website fine. Is the issue on my end in regards to configuration or is due to DDos attacks? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

On-Page Grader is not counting H2 and H3 Keywords
I used on-page grader in one of my webpages and it showed the limit of 15 keywords used. The problem is that it counted only when the keyword appears in the Title, URL, Meta Description, H1, Body and IMG ALT. If you take into account the H2 and H3 tags, the count will go to 22. Is there a problem with the On-Page Grader Tool or it's not a problem to go above 15 keywords if they are in H2 and H3? Here's the link for the page: http://www.tororadar.com.br/acoes/bbse3-bb-seguridade/cotacoes-bovespa Keyword: BBSE3 Thanks in advance.

MOZ crawl test is not reporting on all the pages on my site.
I've run the crawl test one of the sites I've taken over SEO for, however its only picking all the pages. For instance it indexes all the pages under xxxxx/us but none under xxxxx/au or xxxxx/uk The pages are being indexed as they're ranking in Google. Thanks.

Why do the crawl diagnostics indicate duplicate page content among blog postings hosted by WordPress?
Does anyone know why the crawl diagnostics indicate duplicate page content regarding the blog we are hosting on WordPress? And does anyone know how to fix this issue? The content is not, or does not appear to be duplicate.
