902 Error and Page Size Limit
-
Hello,
I am getting a 902 error when attempting to crawl one of my websites that was recently upgraded to a modern platform to be mobile friendly, https, etc.
After doing some research it appears this is related to the page size. On Moz's 902 error description it states: "Pages larger than 2MB will not be crawled. For best practices, keep your page sizes to be 75k or less."
It appears all pages on my site are over 2MB because Rogbot is no longer doing any crawling and not reporting issues besides the 902. This is terrible for us because we purchased MOZ to track and crawl this site specifically.
There are many articles which show the average page size on the web is well over 2MB now: http://www.wired.com/2016/04/average-webpage-now-size-original-doom/
Due to that I would imagine other users have come up against this as well and I'm wondering how they handled it. I hope Moz is planning to increase the size limit on Rogbot as it seems we are on a course towards sites becoming larger and larger.
Any insight or help is much appreciated!

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
I'm so sorry that you're running into persistent 902 errors from your site crawl! Unfortunately, this is a technical limitation of our tools. We're in the process of building a bigger, badder, better crawler, but it isn't quite ready yet.
You're certainly not the first person to write in about this issue, so I'll be sure to take your feedback to our product team! The ability to crawl larger pages is going to be more and more important as time moves forward.
Thanks for writing in to let us know you were having issues! If you have follow-up questions or need any other help with the tools, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll get things sorted out for you.

MOZ On Page Grader Not Seeing Changes
Hello all, I've been doing some SEO work recently and using the really handy A-F rating on MOZ on page grader as a guide. It's worked great so far on my sites up until today. I've made some small changes to a site such as the title and MOZ isn't seeing these changes. For example if I were to put 'banana' in the title of one of my other sites and re-run the on page grader with 'banana' as a keyword, instantly MOZ would say this keyword is used in the title once. I've done the same to another site and the same thing hasn't happened. I did a test and wrote all the keywords from the title in the on page grader and it still said they appear 0 times in the title. Am I missing something here? The site is different from the others, it's flat html and not CMS, but the SEO changes I've made are still the same. Thanks!

Duplicate Page and Title Issues
On the last crawl, we received errors for duplicate page titles and some duplicate content pages. Here is the issue: We went through our page titles that were marked as duplicate and changed them to make sure their titles were different. However, we just received a new crawl this week and it is saying there are even more duplicate page title errors detected than before. We're wondering if this is a problem with just us or if it has been happening to other Moz users. As for the duplicate content pages, what is the best way to approach this and see what content is being looked at as a "duplicate" set?

On Page Grade - Moz Analytics
When I go to search overview I can see my on page optimization grades, but when I try to use the on page grade optimizer for different keywords and url's I get the error. "The URL you entered does not appear to be returning a page successfully. Please make sure that you've entered the URL of valid, working page." However, I know it is a valid url and I get the error even if I use the same url and same keyword I can see the grade for from the search overview. Also, if I try to regrade the page nothing happens and where my previous grade and analysis was located I now have nothing. Any information about why this is happening? Thanks for the help.

Find all the back links to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only.
Hi, I am new to Moz. I using the open site explorer to find backlinks for a website's blog. The website itself is huge. I want to find all the backlinks to all the posts/pages within the blog subdirectory only. Not the regular website. I ran a few reports, but it is giving me links to that page, not all the sub pages.Fi

Big dip in errors last week?
Hi, I have a client who has seen a big dip in their errors, warnings and notices - pretty much consistently across all - then they popped right back up the next week. Is it possible it was a crawl error? What is the best approach to trouble shoot and find out why this happened? As far as they know, nothing major changed on their end. Thanks!
