    For several years month after month MOZ crawl reports 5xx errors on many pages. Almost every time all the pages work fine as fa as i could see. Google webmaster tools does not notice any errors.

    Could anyone explain how to fix this situation?

    Should i get a refund from MOZ?

      Unlike 3XX (301, 302 etc) or 4XX (404 etc) errors, 5XX errors are actually highly variable and relate to server errors. A page can give a 5XX error one second and then in a few seconds, return a full page instead. If you encounter high volumes of 'false-positive' 5XX or 0 (time out) errors, it's usually a sign that at a certain time your server is under strain and Moz is crawling it a bit too quickly (thus resulting in false positive 5XX errors)

      This could be if Moz decides to crawl your sit too quickly at peak operating time, or if Moz crawls your site when it's running something like a cron job (assuming that the job is handled by the same server which is handling your web requests). There can be many other reasons for 5XX false positives, but this is the most common

      You can delay Moz's crawl bot (rogerbot) from crawling your site too frequently:

      • https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot

      See if that helps. Keep in mind the change won't be instant, it may take a few weeks for it to be processed effectively. We had to do this recently for a client's site which was bound to a ridiculously weak hosting environ

      Hope that helps!

        Hey, thanks for reaching out!

        So it's entirely possible for our user-agent to get a response that doesn't reflect the same when you view it in a browser.  Have you checked your server logs for these 5xx errors responding to our user agent "rogerbot" to check if you see it on your end?  If you want to send us an email to help@moz.com, we can take a look into your specific example here, so we can make sure we have access to report on your site properly.

        thanks!

          A long time ago I'm pretty sure I used a tool that helped me write content for a webpage. It checked my writing as I typed and gave suggestions. I can't find the tool anymore. I hope I didn't imagine it as it was really useful..

          Hi I forgot to cancellation my  subscription before the trail expired. We are currently at a very nascent stage and do not require the product and can't afford it as well. During such trying times ( COVID, when the business is not doing well at all) we would really appreciate if you can refund the money and help us. Kindly consider.  We missed the date by one day. We will be really grateful. Regards, Prachi Joshi

          0% visbility and no ranking keywords.

          Yesterday, we uploaded a new campaign but it appears it has 0% of visibility and no keywords ranking. What might be the problem? The website has a domain authority of 39 and 500 visits in the last week. But according to the Moz campaign they don't even rank for the name.

          I have removed a subdomain from my main domain. We have stopped the subdomain completely. However the crawl still shows the error for that sub-domain. How to remove the same from crawl reports.

          Earlier I had a forum as sub-domain and was mentioned in my main domain. However i have now discontinued the forum and have removed all the links and mention of the forum from my main domain. But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.
