Site crawl only shows homepage
-
Hi everyone,
A client of us has a quite new website with a lot of URLs. (Google Search Console indicates around 5300.) However, when I execute a site crawl with screaming frog, or a crawl test in MOZ, it only shows me one URL, the homepage.
Does somebody have an idea why the other pages of the website are not showing up?
Thanks,
Jens -
Hi SEOchris,
Thanks for your answer. I checked the robots.txt file, changed the User Agent to Googlebot in Screaming Frog, but non of these gave new insights. For now, we don't have access yet to the server log files, but when we have, hopefully they will tell us more.

The crawlers may be blocked inside of the robots.txt file. In Screaming Frog change the User Agent to Googlebot and recrawl the site. If that doesn't work you'll have to check the server log files inside of the hosting account for the site. Those may tell you what the crawl doesn't work.

Hey Jens,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Would you be able to head over to this link https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/contact and drop us a quick email. This will allow us to investigate further (and for that, we would need to access your Moz Pro account).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Eli
UPDATE - The Campaign was set up for us to only crawl a specific subfolder as opposed to the whole domain. All sorted now

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

Is there a way to export all your crawl errors for multiple Moz campaigns at once?
We're looking for a simple way to export all crawl errors for our Moz campaigns. More than likely we could use the API, but was wondering if there was any functionality already built into Moz for exporting all crawl errors.

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?

MOZ crawl test is not reporting on all the pages on my site.
I've run the crawl test one of the sites I've taken over SEO for, however its only picking all the pages. For instance it indexes all the pages under xxxxx/us but none under xxxxx/au or xxxxx/uk The pages are being indexed as they're ranking in Google. Thanks.

Did the Crawl Test tool go away or was it replaced
I loved that tool as it provided me with all of my URLs and it was easy to catch all errors at once. I had it booked marked but now I am just going to the regular tools page.

Where is the Crawl Tool we had before Research?
Hello, I can't seem to find the crawl tool for other domains that aren't in our campaigns. We've lost it 😞 Thanks, Romeo.
