Screaming frog, Xenu, Moz giving wrong results
-
Hello guys and gals,
This is a very odd one, I've a client's website and most of the crawlers I'm using are giving me weird/ wrong results.
For now lets focus on screaming frog, when I crawl the site it will list e.g. meta titles as missing (not all of them though), however going into the site the title is not missing, and Google seems to be indexing the site fine. The robots.txt are not affecting the site (I've also tried changing the user agent).
The other odd thing is SF gives a 200 code but as a status tells me "connection refused" even though it's giving me data.
I'm unable to share the clients site, has any one else seen this very odd issue? And solutions for it?
Many thanks in advanced for any help,
-
Thanks Dan!

Cheers for the tweet Andy.
Chris, I'd recommend running through this list here in our FAQ -
http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/faq/#17
In particular, I'd recommend reducing the crawl speed & adjusting the user-agent.
You can also pop it through to our support (http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/support/) & we can advise. All confidential etc.
Cheers
Dan

Hi Chris
This is hard to answer without an example - do you have a URL or two that you can share with the community?
Thanks so much!

Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist
Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

White Label Version of Moz Pro?
I may have missed it, but is there a white label option for Moz Pro? I have a few clients that would like to login and have a look at competition, rankings, etc. Perhaps something like WebCEO or MySEOtool?
