Moz Crawler failing with https redirect?
-
Is there a way to get the Moz Crawl Test to work with HTTPS?
I just got back this error:
902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page.
Site is set up with a standard 301 to redirect http to https - or at least I certainly hope it is!
Rex Swain's HTTP Header Checker took shows a standard 301.
Anyone else experiencing this error?
btw - this is both a specific question and an opportunity for open discussion...
Thanks!

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Unfortunately at this time our crawler isn't compatible with Server Name Indication (SNI), which appears to be in use on your site. In general, SNI is a totally acceptable security configuration, but our crawler simply isn't equipped to be able to handle these settings.

I found this thread in our Community Q&A forum with lots of other users running into the same problem, so it's definitely something we're aware of and working to address: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error
The good news is that a recent update has been made, and we're ready to accept beta SNI customers to test it out. Please see the article here that explains this further: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni and if you're interested in being a part of the beta testing, the link to the sign up page is here: http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1
I apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime, but hopefully we'll have it fixed soon! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!

Hi There,
It seems that your server is blocking the Moz crawler as an activity that it doesn't recognize.
You should contact your hosting provider to get a solution. You can read a similar answer here

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask further questions.

MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality question
Quick question about the ignore feature found in the MOZ Site Crawl. We've made some changes to pages containing errors found by the MOZ Site Crawl. These changes should have resolved issues but we're not sure about the "Ignore" feature and do not want to use it without first understanding what will happen when using it. Will it clear the item from the current list until the next Site Crawl takes place. If Roger finds the issue again, it will relist the error? Will it clear the item from the list permanently, regardless if it has not been properly corrected?

Does seo moz toolbar work in safari? Can I avoid using Chrome or firefox?
I am using a Mac and use Safari for web. I am not very familiar with Google Chrome or Firefox. I started my trial with SEOMoz Pro and want to use it (loved it) but do not want to adapt myself to Google Chrome or Firefox - thus my hesitation. What limitations do I have with SEOMoz Pro in safari - e.g. Moz add-on in the toolbar? What would I be missing if I continue using Safari? I would much appreciate an honest and complete answer so that I can decide whether to use Google Chrome of Firefox. Thank you
