Error 406 with crawler test
-
hi to all. I have a big problem with the crawler of moz on this website: www.edilflagiello.it.
On july with the old version i have no problem and the crawler give me a csv report with all the url but after we changed the new magento theme and restyled the old version, each time i use the crawler, i receive a csv file with this error:
"error 406"
Can you help me to understan wich is the problem? I already have disabled .htacces and robots.txt but nothing.
Website is working well, i have used also screaming frog as well.
-
thank you very much Dirk. this sunday i try to fix all the error and next i will try again. Thanks for your assistance.

I noticed that you have a Vary: User-Agent in the header - so I tried visiting your site with js disabled & switched the user agent to Rogerbot. Result: the site did not load (turned endlessly) and checking the console showed quite a number of elements that generated 404's. In the end - there was a timeout.
Try screaming frog - set user agent to Custom and change the values to
Name:Rogerbot
Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; UrlCrawler; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot)
It will be unable to crawl your site. Check your server configuration - there are issues in how you deal with the Mozbot useragent.
Check the attached images.

nothing. After i fix all the 40x error the crawler is always empty. Any other ideas?
-
thanks, i'm wait another day
-
I know the Crawl Test reports are cached for about 48 hours so there is a chance that the CSV will look identical to the previous one for that reason.
With that in mind, I'd recommend waiting another day or two before requesting a new Crawl Test or just waiting until your next weekly campaign update, if that is sooner

i have fixed all error but csv is always empty and says:
http://www.edilflagiello.it,2015-10-21T13:52:42Z,406 : Received 406 (Not Acceptable) error response for page.,Error attempting to request page
here the printscreen: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151020_QW_JMP/1/details/
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
-
thanks a lot guy! I'm going to check this errors before next crawling.
-
Great answer Dirk! Thanks for helping out!
Something else I noticed is that the site is coming back with quite a few errors when I ran it through a 3rd party tool, W3C Markup Validation Service and it also was checking the page as XHTML 1.0 Strict which looks to be common in other cases of 406 I've seen.

If you check your page with external tools you'll see that the general status of the page is 200- however there are different elements which generate a 4xx error (your logo generates a 408 error - same for the shopping cart) - for more details you could check this http://www.webpagetest.org/result/151019_29_14E6/1/details/.
Remember that Moz bot is quite sensitive for errors -while browsers, Googlebot & Screaming Frog will accept errors on page, Moz bot stops in case of doubt.
You might want to check the 4xx errors & correct them - normally Moz bot should be able to crawl your site once these errors are corrected. More info on 406 errors can be found here. If you have access to your log files you could check in detail which elements are causing the problems when Mozbot is visiting your site.

Crawl-test not doesn't finish
Hello, I have used this crawl-test on 2 website 3 days ago, and it hasn't finished yet. I'm wondering if the crawler is on an infinite loop, or has crashed without sending back an error. I could re-launch the test, but if it's really still crawling, I don't want to loose any work in progress. Is there any way to check the status of a crawl?

How does a non-traditional TLD impact Moz's crawl test?
I have a client who moved from a .com to .academy domain 6 months ago, and their current crawl tests are coming back with a universal page authority of 1, along with 0 indexed backlinks. The previous version of the site had an average page authority of 35-40, the site architecture and content are nearly identical, and there are no other errors or red flags in the crawl report that would hold back their organic rankings. In fact, looking at the site's analytics account, I can see dozens of sites that provide current and properly functioning backlinks, non of which are listed on the crawl test. So the question is - is Moz currently unable to properly crawl a .academy (or any other non-traditional TLD) site, or is there some deeper issue with the site's SEO that I'm not seeing? Thanks!

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

Why does the moz crawl test lists page twice?
Hi, I'm running into an issue where some crawlers list my pages twice, once with a trailing slash, once without. I first saw it on a few pages with screaming frog, then saw it happen on all my pages with the moz crawler. The site is www.kidsandart.org and its on Squarespace. I grepped the sitemap.xml I submitted to google webmaster and got 167 distinct pages, all of them without a trailing slash. Any insights on why this is happening, and how to regard moz crawler results would be appreciated. thanks Tom

Getting 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible' error msg when trying to run On-Page Grader
I just signed up for MOZ Pro for the first time today. Tried to run the 'on-page grader' tool on some of my pages but I'm getting a 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible' error msg. I have verified against the robot.txt file that the pages are NOT blocking any crawlers. Can anybody help?

Moz Crawl Test Tool - SEO Web Crawler showing up with no details
So basically I have ran the Moz Crawl Test tool twice for this url "bubblingwithenergy.info" and both times the report has listed 1 URL when there is obviously a lot more if you check the site. My question is, why is the Moz Crawl only reporting 1 URL when there are heaps? Is there a possibility it is being blocked and if so what would be blocking it? This website is using a CMS called Infusion and it is based off CMSMS (CMS Made Simple). Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
