Duplicate page issue
-
Hi Guys
We were recently having trouble with an excessive amount of duplicate page titles. So I asked our web company, at a reasonable expense, to fix the issue which they did. How ever I since note that the issue has returned (please see the attached graph. Could anyone explain to me why this might have happened? I t would be great to have some insight before i go back to them. Thanks again for your help
Regards
Pete

Ok, Here there could be two things, eaither the CMS you are using is keep generating suplicate content which is why this duplicate content issue rise again or someone have made some changes in the website which remove the chacnes done by your developer.
Hope this helps!

Pete,
This is likely due to whatever CMS you are using and/or a given plug in for that. If you have an SEO plugin that automatically constructs the title tags for example, there could be something being done that is causing it to pull from the same data over and over. Before I had someone redo the title tags, I would first take a look at the CMS. Also, given they went in and changed tags and then they reoccurred, I would get clear as to precisely how they changed them and who all had access to the admin side of the CMS.
Hope that helps,
Robert

Why do new issues occur when there have been no updates to the website?
I am unsure on how new issues are created when crawling the site from one crawl to the next. I had assumed the number of issues would remain static if nothing was done from one crawl to the next. Can someone explain how new/additional issues are added from each crawl, even without updates being made? Thanks in advance, Christopher

Moz Crawler fails on the first page
Hi guys, Can anybody shed some light, I'm running a crawl on a client's website but it's failing on the homepage and not crawling any other pages. It appears to be throwing an 804: HTTPS (SSL) error and then terminating the crawl. Now, the page in question was serving up mixed content up until about 4 days ago, but has since been fixed. I read that we should wait at least 48 hours before initiating another crawl to avoid hitting a cached version - which I did, but it still appears to be having issues. Is there anything specific I can do to get around this issue? I'm on a trial account and this feature is one I'm keen to test, so there is a bit of a time constraint. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What is Considered Duplicate Content by Crawlers?
I am asking this because I have a couple of site audit tools that I use to crawl a site I work on every week and they are showing duplicate content issues (which I know there is a lot on this site) but some of what is flagged as duplicate content makes no sense. For example, the following URL's were grouped together as duplicate content: | https://www.firefold.com/contact-us | https://www.firefold.com/gabe | https://www.firefold.com/sale | | | How are these pages duplicate content? I am confused on what site audit tools are considering duplicate content. Just FYI, this is data from Moz crawl diagnostics but SEMrush site auditor is giving me the same type of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

Is there a tool that works like crawl test that allows more than 3000 pages?
I enjoy using crawl test inside moz but I need to find a way to crawl all the pages on a site. It would probably be in the neighborhood of 10,000 urls. Does anyone know of a free tool and if not is there a paid tool that will do this?
