901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
-
Hi Everyone,
I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com
When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them.
I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank?
Do you have recommendations or ideas?
Thanks so much.

An error in the crawler is a possiblity. Although i'm not that familiar with the MOZ-crawler so i have to be careful
Have you considered issues where the URL is not actually written back to back in the code where you can see it? But where the crawler might get the impression that it has to written back to back? For instance in JavaScript/jQuery or similar techniques?
Good luck!

Thank you so much Kevin. I will complete this now.

Hi Bas,
No, the url isn't written back to back anywhere that I can find. I've scanned the whole site multiple times and gone through all content. For a while I thought this is some weird canonicalization issue. But to no avail. No other errors in search console or Ahrefs. Moz is maybe finding a super deep error or this is some error happening in the scan?

Hi Jason,
Can you send us your information to help@moz.com so that we can investigate this further?
Thanks!

Hi Jason,
Could it be that someone accidentally has written the URL this way? Perhaps you have someone working on the content for this site who wrote the URL this way?
Do you also have this error in other tools, like Google Webmaster Tools?
Greets,
Bas

We recently switched from HTTP to HTTPS and we are having crawling issues!
We switched our website from HTTP to HTTPS and we started to get an email from Moz about the robots.txt being unable to crawl our website. The website is hosted through wordpress but we haven't had any issues until we switched. We have no idea what to do or even what the problem is! If you have had a similar problem and fixed it, we need your help! Thank you.

Fixing Non-Valid URL - Oops! This does not appear to be a valid URL. Please try again.
Edit - Turns out I can't delete a question. I ended up finding out I'm supposed to email the Moz team at help@moz.com. I did a search regarding the issue, but I only found answers for people using AWS. The results say the .htaccess isn't setup correctly, but I don't know how to fix that file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I get the error not a valid url when I'm trying to set up a campaign. I know it's a valid url. I have tried with www, non-www, http://, https:// when I do the https it lets me start, but then I get an error that https is forwarding to http and I need to use that. When I then put in the http, I get the original error. thanks in advance for your help.
