Onpage grader says site unreachable
-
It is possible the crawler is caught in the firewall. Any idea what I need to have whitelisted?
-
Thanks for the update! So glad it's working now.
-
Just to update for people that see this question in the future. The problem was caused by the lack of intermediate certificate. Everything is now working.
-
Just to add, I managed to run a site crawl (the one with the downloadable csv file) so clearly it is just related to the on-page grader.
Also, rather strangely other sites on the VPS work fine (http).
Therefore I am thinking more and more that it is an SSL intermediate certificate issue.
-
Yeh, that answer was not very helpful, although it contained useful information.
My working theory is that as I just transferred the site to one of my VPS that the SSL doesn't have a valid intermediate certificate. I will have a closer look at resolving this tomorrow.
It probably didn't help that I was not accurate with the error message which states that "sorry but that url is inaccessable".

Have you considered going through your server and/or firewall logs to find out the root cause of the issue? Your host should be able to help you there, even without any IP's. Just run a crawl, and tell them approximately what time you ran it - that should be enough for them to start analyzing the issue.
The first question to find an answer to is what is blocking the crawler, followed by how is it blocking the crawler and finally, why is it blocking the crawler.
Once you find an answer to those questions, it will be vastly easier to help you find a solution.
-
Well, my host cannot check without IP's and from what I read Moz doesn't give out IPs as they are dynamic.
I guess that leaves me stuck unable to use this service.

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?
When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

Site crawl only shows homepage
Hi everyone, A client of us has a quite new website with a lot of URLs. (Google Search Console indicates around 5300.) However, when I execute a site crawl with screaming frog, or a crawl test in MOZ, it only shows me one URL, the homepage. Does somebody have an idea why the other pages of the website are not showing up? Thanks,

Rogerbot will not crawl my site! Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https version but still getting the same error! What can I do?
Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http://www.flogas.co.uk/) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https://www.flogas.co.uk/ version but still getting the same error! What can I do? I want to use Moz for everything rather than continuing to use a separate auditing tool!

I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
I have keyword lists for two sites. Is there a way to label them in the keyword difficulty tool (List A, List B) so I can just view results for a particular site? Or do I need to run the report with List A, export results, delete those keywords, then run the report for List B?

On Page Grader Returning Large # of Keywords
When using the on-page grader the results show the below for a page with a specific keyword in the body only 5 times : We found this keyword used 1100 times. Any Idea why this would be showing such a high number? The keywords are in Thai language but there is a space before and after the keyword. Thanks.

How can the Moz Page Grader support a 'keyword portfolio' approach?
I used to use the Page Grader tools to support the old philosophy of one page - one keyword. With more focus now being given to a portfolio of keywords around a topic area - what would be a good approach to using the page grader tool? Obviously getting A's and B's is impossible for multiple keywords. The only way i've seen suggested in moz tools to help with keyword portfolios is to use labels in the ranking measurement and then find averages of the results. Are there other strategies that I can try?

"Sorry! We weren't able to find that page when we crawled your site." Please help!
Can someone please explain whey I am getting this error for this link "http://lensoutloud.com/san-antonio-real-estate-photography/" when I attempt to perform an on page SEO grading? The link is indexed and ranking very well but for some reason Moz says it can't find the page when it crawled my site. This has also happened when I attempt to grade other pages on my site. Thanks in advance!
