Erin,
thank you very much for your effort. I already contacted my host on this problem, but they say is that they are only blocking Yandex and that every other crawler is allowed.
In the past my client did have similair errors (website not reachable) but that was solved i understood. I will contact you via in private for additional information.
Also I will contact the host again and ask them to investigate the matter.
Best regards, Jos

Hi Jos,
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Our crawls have been delayed, and we're currently working through the backlog. Thanks for your patience! Keep in mind that the Crawl Test is cached for 48 hours, so if you run them too close together you'll see the same data.
I curled your site from our servers, and I came back with a 404. Usually this means that your site is blocking us on the server level- and explains why your site comes back with a 200 from a Header Checker, but a 404 from our servers. I did a little digging but wasn't able to come up with much, so you'll want to loop in your web dev to see if they can shed some more light on what might be happening. I'm sorry there's not more I can do for you on the support side with this one!
I don't want to share any private site details over the interwebz, so if you have any follow up questions email the Help Team.
I hope that helps, and happy Monday!
Cheers,
Erin

@Keri, it's a 404 on the homepage.... :

Also in my campaign it gives a 404. If i check the a-record, all looks good: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/www.everlastinggarden.nl

Hi! If you download the CSV of your crawl report, it will list the referring URL that is pointing to the page with a 404.

Try to re-do the crawl test. This can be a puntual problem.
For getting more info, check your server log. Try to enter the page before re-do the test for verify all it's working.
Also, if you can, check if your hosting is blocking some user-agents (question it to them) for reduce traffic.

What do you do when there is significant movement when checking a Ranking & Algorithm tracking tool?
I've checked various Ranking & Algorithm tracking tools (SEMrush, Mozcast etc.) and since 12th Jan 18 there has been a lot of 'turbulence' in terms predicted Google algorithm changes. This has been 'high' for the past 2 weeks. Question is, would you 'hang tight and ride the wave' or 'act fast'? Our actual rankings haven't really been affected positively or negatively - so I'm thinking I should just ride the wave to see what happens but keep a close eye on the rankings?

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?

Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??
Hello Mozzers! Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages. On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this? And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links? Any response appreciated! Richard

Why my on-page report card won't improve?
For my page www.homedestination.com/Minneapolis-homes-for-sale.html, Moz ranks the page as an "F" for the keyword "Minneapolis home buyers". All data in the report card is from months ago. using the "Grade my On-Page Optimization" button fails to show any updates - even after months. For example the title is actually "Minneapolis Homes For Sale| buying a Minneapolis home | Homebuyers" while Moz says it is ""Minneapolis Homes For Sale | Home Destination | Jenna Thuening" Moz says the description tag is "Realtor Jenna Theuning helping real estate buyers find Minnetonka homes for sale, owner of Home Destination. CDPE also helps with foreclosure and short sales buying." and "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, and Minneapolis upscale real estate, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination"" when it is actually "Minneapolis homes for sale, and Minneapolis listing, Minneapolis home buyers, and Minneapolis lakeside properties provided by Home Destination." Additionally, my weekly ranking reports seems "stuck" and continues to show many "F" ranked keywords that have been updated for some time. Amy advice on how to see improvements?
