    TL;DR

    • Many sites and CDN’s across the internet use SNI to help keep pages and resources secure

    • Right now, Moz Pro is unable to crawl sites that use SNI, affecting these customers (you will see an 804 HTTPS SSL error if you are affected)

    • This is being fixed, and we are almost ready to provide beta access to SNI customers

    • If you have an SNI site, are a Moz Pro customer, and wish to be a part of this beta - sign up here http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1

    Detail

    SNI (Server Name Identification) is an extension to the TLS security protocol that allows for multiple HTTPS websites to be served from the same IP address without requiring them all to use the same certificate.  This was always possible using wildcard certificates, but these are often impractical, since they are restrictive, and require a webmaster to know all of the hostnames to be served at the time of requesting the certificate.  With SNI, a webmaster can issue a single certificate and support multiple (and changing) hostnames.

    SNI has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years thanks to:

    • Increase in mainstream browser support

    • Its flexibility for usage in CDNs, like Cloudflare

    Unfortunately the Moz Pro web crawler has not kept up to date with this trend, and is at present unable to crawl sites that use SNI (the symptom is an 804 HTTPS SSL error).  This affects customers with SNI hosted sites, who miss out on the value of Moz Pro’s Site Crawl tools.  Whilst it might seem a simple fix to support SNI, our crawler software uses libraries that are unable to support the technology without a significant re-write.

    However, I am happy to say that this re-write is in process, and almost ready for testing.  Behind the scenes we have been working on a major overhaul of our crawl technology which you are going to start to see across many of our products. In fact, Moz Content adopted the new crawler this week, resulting in much faster crawls and support for SNI.

    Moz Pro is not ready for full implementation yet. That said, we are pretty close to being able to beta test with customers.  For that reason we would like to invite any customers with SNI sites into our closed Beta that will likely start some time in August.

    Some notes about the beta:

    • Initially, it will be a little behind where the current crawl tools are in terms of features and configuration. That said, we will be iterating fast and beta customers will get automatic access to all new features

    • As with any beta there will be bugs and potential data outages - I want to be transparent about this up-front

    • We will be looking for feedback throughout the beta, and we would love to have our customers help shape the future of our software

    • You must be a paid Moz Pro subscriber (or in a free trial)

      UPDATE!

      As of June 2017, this issue has been resolved. That's right, Moz Pro is now able to crawl sites that use SNI. For more details, please see https://moz.com/community/q/moz-crawler-fully-supports-sni-sites. You may also leave any questions and comments you have about this update there. 😄

      Thanks so much for your patience, ya'll!

          Hi Moz,

          It is May 2017 and the issue still hasn't been resolved. I have a free trial account and the client used in the console has this error. I noticed there is an issue with SSL comodo users.

          Any updates? I have requested BETA access to the new crawler.

              Hi Dean. Sorry for the frustration. It is a huge priority and is currently fixed / working in beta.  Send the email address you use to log in to Moz Pro to jon@moz.com and I will add you.

                We have SNI errors for our Streamline sites and we use CloudFlare. Moz, how big of a priority is it for you to fix this?

                How would we opt-in to the beta?

                  Jon, If we are not in the Beta test and are currently using CloudFlare and getting the 804 Error code in our crawl results. Should we just ignore this notification or is there anything else we should be concerned about?

                    Hi Jon, Just filled in the request form and you say we will be added in the next batch. Will we receive an email when we are added or will we need to keep checking. If you could let me know that would be appreciated.....save me checking all the time.

                      Hello!  I looked it up, and it looks like you signed up for the beta 5 days ago. We add new beta customers once per week, which means your account is in the batch to be added this week.  I am really sorry for your frustration and appreciate your patience.

                        @Darren, no.. it's not there and I would be mindful to not post if it was present.

                        @Jon, thanks for the response. I signed up with admin[at]jmsolodesigns.com - this is both for login as well as the email submitted on the form.

                          You might want to go back and look. It has been working in the SiteCrawl v2 [BETA] tab of your project in the ProTools. Head there and see if you see the tab.

                              It's unfortunate that I have been following the progress of this for almost a year and every time it seems to be the same response from the Moz team... "Coming Soon". Well, I have applied for the beta program as all of my clients are using SNI via Let's Encrypt and some on CDN providers. It makes the price point almost NOT WORTH IT, nor does it instill much confidence to a potential customer when this issue has been bounding around the internet for almost a year with little to no head way.

                              Hopefully we get a response to this (the beta access) soon as I can not possibly justify spending the money on a service that other FREE tools can do. The one thing that would make this worth it is the ability to actually crawl my clients sites under one roof... which cannot be done atm.

                                Submitted for beta. I'm still on the free trial and so far IN LOVE with Moz tools - but we have 60+ clients, many of which are on GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting (I know, I know...) and we are recommending SSL to every one of them. I will be unable to justify expense of Moz if SNI is not supported - very much looking forward to this implementation! Thanks Moz crew.

                                    I am having the 804 error on the crawl for my sites too. Both hosted on wpengine.com and using cloudflare.com. I submitted to the beta.

                                          Hi Kristin

                                          I can confirm your issue is not related to SNI or the new beta crawler as your site does not use SNI.

                                          Outside of SNI and intermediate certificate issues, 803/804 responses will mostly be temporary at the time of the request to reach a page, which is very difficult to isolate unless you see the same URLs appear in each new report.

                                          I wouldn't worry about the spike until the next crawl occurs where you will want to look for re-appearing URLs which will then help you isolate possible issues with your SSL configuration.

                                          Export the CSV for the current URLs to compare with next weeks crawl.

                                          Hope this helps

                                            Hi, Jon-

                                            My site (https://www.paloaltou.edu) never encountered 803 or 804 issues until yesterday's report- which all of a sudden flagged 100 pages for this!

                                            Did the opening of the beta crawler on 1/30/17 have any affect on the live version of the crawler that could've caused pages to now get flagged as 803/804 issues?

                                            Thanks,

                                            Kristin

                                                    Thanks for the reply. I don' see the option. If I can be added that would be great.

                                                      Update: I signed out then back in... now see the Site Crawl v2.

                                                        Thanks, Jon. I don't see that when I log in and choose a campaign. Do I need to sign out/back in?

                                                                      I know you're kind of under the line of fire here but I'm getting this error too and have used that test to test the site where I'm getting this error and it looks like it's the SNI certificate indeed.

                                                                      Are there any more spaces to be a part of the beta testing? also, would this affect all my campaigns or will you just create a test account with that campaign where I'm getting the error?

                                                                      I wouldn't want to risk transferring all my clients' campaigns to a beta test platform.

                                                                      Hope that makes sense.

                                                                      I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

                                                                          Thank you for the updates. We've added SSL to our website in December, as a result we've now also seen the SNI issue. Is the SNI also affecting DA and PA in site explorer? Our previous DA and PA were when the site did not have the SNI issue. Just want to know if we can compare them like for like now we're on SNI. Thanks in advance.

                                                                                                There is a public 3rd party tool which also fails to connect which is hosted on AWS:

                                                                                                https://www.hurl.it/

                                                                                                If you run a GET request to this URL you will see a time out. Your admins can use this tool to quickly isolate any issues as this timeout is the same we are running into.

                                                                                                The SSL issues reported may not block normal browser connections but possible non-browser user-agents which would be another bot or server. We do not have any requirements or TLS, 1.0 and up is supported.

                                                                                                Hope this helps!

                                                                                                    I forwarded your response below to the server admin folks and they wanted me to check with you re this:

                                                                                                    1. Perhaps MOZ can do a simple telnet test to www.ooba.co.za on port 443 to see if they can connect at the most basic level.

                                                                                                    2. The SSL issues they are referring to are not very clear to me, I know we support SSL3, which is insecure but shouldn’t prevent anyone browsing the website. We also don’t support TLS 1.1 or 1.2, only TLS 1.0, do they have any specific requirements regarding TLS support?

                                                                                                    I have to admit that most of this is rather Greek to me.

                                                                                                    Thanks David

                                                                                                    Etienne

                                                                                                      I don't believe HSTS would prevent issues or this would apply to all https pages on every crawl report. For 804 response for any single page you want to monitor for the same URL appearing in the crawl report every week. Outside of SNI 804s will commonly be temporary issues.

                                                                                                      If the same URL appears week to week with an 804 you would have to involve your web dev/host to further investigate.

                                                                                                      1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

Whilst we’re not completely removing the content - many posts will still be possible to view - we’re locking both new posts and new replies. Why? The truth is that the conversation has moved elsewhere. Sites like Twitter, Reddit, and more recently BlueSky and LinkedIn, have largely replaced specialist forums. At the same time, the challenge of moderating a platform like this has become more difficult, and of course, we’re SEOs, and the sheer quantity of new pages generated, often by malicious actors, has its challenges in terms of what it does to the profile of our site. Forums are still an opportunity for many sites, in SEO and more broadly, but the calculus no longer works for Moz. Where can I ask my question instead? If you’re a customer or currently evaluating a free trial, you can reach out directly with questions about the product to our customer support team here. If you want to learn more about SEO, you can check our learning resources here, and we also offer the Moz Academy. If you just want to hang out, you can also still find us on X, BlueSky, or LinkedIn. Thank you We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed to Moz Q&A over the years. It’s been a blast, and we hope this isn’t the last time we’ll see you here on the Moz site.

                                                                                                        Hello! I wanted to give you all a heads up about some changes we will be making to the MozBar very soon. We will be making an update to the MozBar that will require you to log in with either a free Community account or with your Moz subscription to access link metrics. Don’t worry! We will never charge you for link metrics in the MozBar. Why are we making this change?
                                                                                                        The MozBar has historically made use of a free endpoint in our Mozscape API. Unfortunately, over time, we have been experiencing increasing levels of abuse on this endpoint. For a long time, we were able to manage this mis-use but recently we have reached a tipping point whereby this malicious traffic is starting to degrade other legitimate API traffic and cause performance issues within our products. By asking you to log in to the MozBar with either a free Community account or a Moz subscription, we can ensure only authenticated users are able to use the MozBar. Also, if you don’t need link metrics, you can still use the MozBar. Logged out users will still be able to access on-page information. A note to Firefox users
                                                                                                        With this change, we will temporarily disable the Firefox version of the MozBar. You may have noticed that the Firefox and Chrome versions of the MozBar are not the same. This is due to Mozilla’s review process, and us being unable to get new versions approved despite multiple attempts. Good news on the horizon! Firefox will start accepting Chrome-based extensions with the release of Firefox v48, which means soon there will be one version of the MozBar. When v48 is released, we will re-enable the MozBar in Firefox. In the meantime you can use the free Google Chrome version. Thank you for your understanding while we make these changes in the MozBar! Please feel free to let us know what you think, or ask questions, in the comments below. Thanks!
