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!

Hello Becky, Abe here at Moz. Matt could be right about changes to the website causing the sudden dip. I have seen a drop like that take place several times when some minor changes have been made. Sometimes when pages are temporarily hidden from our crawler, we would fail to report any errors during that crawl. If you are seeing a discrepancy or something seems totally off, never hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We can always dig in and get our engineers involved to ensure it wouldn't be a bug or error on our part.

Did your client change there website or hosting at all when the dip occurred?
If the client hasn't made any changes to there website during that time period where there was a dip and a week prior (MOZ crawl is once a week on Wednesday). I'd say it would be a crawl error.

I added a privacy policy link to my footer and now Moz is showing thousands of 4xx errors
My website didn't have a privacy policy so I added one and put the link in the footer menu. When I did this, Moz came back telling me that there are a lot of new errors on the site. Is this a bad thing? Do I need to address it? HY59Iks sYyAHCB

Moz Crawl Report Increase in Errors?
Has anyone else noticed a huge increase over the past couple weeks in crawl issues in their dashboards? Without being able to see historical data week over week, I can't tell what's been added. Is this some update with the tool? I'm not seeing any health issues with this feature on the Moz Health page, it just seems strange that I'm seeing this across all our accounts.

WP 4.0 Update Causing Major Duplicate Content Errors?
According to my moz analytics, my site has went through the roof with duplicate content. There's a nice Mozzer named Abe looking into this with me, but I'm wondering if it could be due to the WP 4.0 update. Has anyone else experienced an uptick like this before? I've never had any problems with the other updates. Thanks, Ruben
