Why RogerBot can't crawl site https://unplag.com
-
Hello
Please help me to solve the problem.
The on-page grader and Crawl Test are not working for Unplag.com website. Both said that they can't access the url. Yes, I've tried different variants like unplag.com, http://unplag.com
One more thing - RogerBot was disallowed in robots.txt file. I deleted it from the file a week ago so maybe moz index haven't been renewed.

Thank you. I'll try to solve the problem

The trouble is not with your robot.txt - in the server config you block rogerbot completely and serve a 400 for each request it makes..
If you have a user agent switcher plugin in your browser & change the user agent to rogerbot (rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com) - the server returns a 400 Bad Request.

The logs are like this:
"GET / HTTP/1.0" 400 166 "-" "rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com)" "-" - "https"
and of course sometimes rogerbot is trying to see the robots file:
"GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 400 166 "-" "rogerbot/1.1 (http://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics#more-help, rogerbot-crawler+pr2-crawler-101@moz.com)" "-" - "https"
for me it looks like the rogerbot is disallowed in robots.txt but the file is like this https://unplag.com/robots.txt

thanks a lot!

Follow the advice from Jordan below and try to check your log files to see what the server response is when Rogerbot is trying to visit the site.
I noticed some DNS issues with your site - check http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=unplag.com - Nameservers don't seem to be ok. Also noticed that you have a 302 redirect from http -> https - while this should be 301. Probably not related to your main issue but worth checking.

Thanks.
The last crawl was after the robots.txt change.
And I don't see any errors in the dashboard.

After creating a fresh test campaign for the site, I'm still seeing a 400 response being served to rogerbot from https://unplag.com/. While I'm not able to pinpoint the exact setting that is causing the site to serve that response, I'd recommend checking your server logs to verify the response that is being served.

It's possible that your site hasn't been crawled yet (since you changed the robots.txt). You can see in your campaign dashboard (upper right corner) when the next crawl is scheduled.
Do you see any specific error codes on your dashboard?

Is there a tool that works like crawl test that allows more than 3000 pages?
I enjoy using crawl test inside moz but I need to find a way to crawl all the pages on a site. It would probably be in the neighborhood of 10,000 urls. Does anyone know of a free tool and if not is there a paid tool that will do this?

Site Crawler Tool by the Company Formerly Known As SEOMoz
Moz had a tool I used that would crawl my site and send me a report of all pages, all errors, 301s 404s 505s, and a whole plethora of stuff. I used it to fix pesky errors quite a bit. Does this still exist? Was it replaced or am I just not finding it in the new design?

Where's Rogerbot?
Could someone please tell me where Rogerbot lives now?! Unless I'm having distorted memories, I used to be able to crawl websites with Rogerbot (that are not set-up as Campaigns). Could someone please let me know where to find this now? p.s. I didn't really want to Q&A this, but after a while clicking around moz I'm now even questioning myself!
