Unsolved Question about a Screaming Frog crawling issue
-
Hello,
I have a very peculiar question about an issue I'm having when working on a website. It's a WordPress site and I'm using a generic plug in for title and meta updates. When I go to crawl the site through screaming frog, however, there seems to be a hard coded title tag that I can't find anywhere and the plug in updates don't get crawled.
If anyone has any suggestions, thatd be great. Thanks!

@KyleSennikoff Hi there! It sounds like you're encountering a common challenge. Check your WordPress theme files, especially header.php, for any hardcoded title tags. Additionally, ensure that the plugin-generated title and meta updates are reflected in the betflixs HTML source code. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the plugin's support for assistance. Good luck.

@Kateparish Thank you for giving your solution information. I am now using the rank math plugin for my WordPress website.

there are a few possible explanations and solutions you can try:
Theme settings: Some WordPress themes have built-in options to set a default title tag or meta description for your website. Check your theme settings to see if there's a section where you can modify the title tag. Look for options like "SEO" or "Header" settings within the theme's customization options.
Child theme modifications: If you're using a child theme, it's possible that the hard-coded title tag is coming from a modification made within the child theme's files. Review the code of your child theme, particularly the header.php file, to see if there's any direct reference to the title tag.
SEO plugin conflicts: It's possible that there is a conflict between the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates and another SEO-related plugin installed on your WordPress site. Try deactivating other SEO plugins temporarily to see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, you may need to choose one plugin for managing your SEO metadata.
Caching plugins or server caching: If you're using any caching plugins or server-level caching, it's possible that the changes made by the plugin are not immediately reflected due to caching. Clear the cache within the caching plugin or purge the server cache to ensure that the latest changes are being served.
Plugin compatibility: Check if the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates is compatible with your current version of WordPress. If the plugin hasn't been updated in a while, it may not work correctly with the latest WordPress version. In that case, consider finding an alternative plugin or contacting the plugin developer for support.
Manual inspection: If you've exhausted the above steps and the issue still persists, you may need to manually inspect your website's code. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the source code and search for the specific hard-coded title tag. This will help identify where it's coming from and allow you to make the necessary modifications directly in the code.
Remember to take a backup of your WordPress site and its database before making any changes to your theme files or modifying the code.

Unsolved Orphaned unwanted urls from the cms
Hi
Technical SEO | | MattHopkins
I am working on quite an old cms, and there are bunch of urls that don't make any sense.
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-outdoor-furniture/all-outdoor-furniture/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/all-chairs/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-industries/all-chairs/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/all-industries/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/banqueting-furniture/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/bar-furniture/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/bentwood-furniture/1
For example there are no internal links. And fortunately not much traffic at all. But I can't see in the cms why they are generating? I've tried to check the html code to check why, what's the reason? But all I can think of is the structure....? something odd the cms writes?
Anyone have any ideas please? And would I redirect all these? Just thinking there could be a better solution/fix, rather than redirects since there are no links or traffic.....Like the devs solve why they are generating.....Unfortunately I get very slow responses from the devs as a 3rd pty company, hence on here ;0). (Some of those are indexed too)... :0) Thanks in advance....0 -
Unsolved URL Crawl Reports providing drastic differences: Is there something wrong?
A bit at a loss here. I ran a URL crawl report at the end of January on a website( https://www.welchforbes.com/ ). There were no major critical issues at the time. No updates were made on the website (that I'm aware of), but after running another crawl on March 14, the report was short about 90 pages on the site and suddenly had a ton of 403 errors. I ran a crawl again on March 15 to check if there was perhaps a discrepancy, and the report crawled even fewer pages and had completely different results again. Is there a reason the results are differing from report to report? Is there something about the reports that I'm not understanding or is there a serious issue within the website that needs to be addressed? Jan. 28 results:

Redirect Chain Issues - Cannot Fix
Hi All My Moz Crawl for my domain brings up 7 redirect chain errors. In each case, the original source is our old website. Strangely, only 7 of the pages show up as having redirect chains, as there are many more examples. We have added redirects from the old pages via the redirection tool in wordpress. The redirects themselves are working as expected. The redirects are from the old website, so the address http://www.oursite.co.uk/example.html to https:www.oursite.co.uk/new-page/ The chain seems to go from the original site and address to https and then onto the new domain. Screenshot link to the Moz Report https://imgur.com/a/eXRSFcD Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. The hosts says there is nothing wrong with the.htaccess file, but I'm thinking this must be the issue. Many Thanks

This time something that I cannot understand happens: In Crawl Issues Report, I received Duplicate Page Content for http://yourappliancerepairla.com (DA 19) http://yourappliancerepairla.com/index.html (DA 1) Could you please help me figure out what is happenning here? By default, index.html is being loaded, but this is the only index.html I have in the folder. And it looks like the crawler sees two different pages with different DA... What should I do to handle this issue?

PageSpeed Insights DNS Issue
Hi Anyone else having problems with Google's Pagespeed tool? I am trying to benchmark a couple of my sites but, according to Google, my sites are not loading. They will work when I run them through the test at one point but if I try again, say 15 mins later, they will present the following error message An error has occured DNS error while resolving DOMAIN. Check the spelling of the host, and ensure that the page is accessible from the public Internet. You may refresh to try again. If the problem persists, please visit the PageSpeed Insights mailing list for support. This isn't too much an issue for testing page speed but am concerned that if Google is getting this error on the speed test it will also get the error when trying to crawl and index the pages. I can confirm the sites are up and running. I the sites are pointed at the server via A-records and haven't been changed for many weeks so cannot be a dns updating issue. Am at a loss to explain. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Crawl issues/ .htacess issues
My site is getting crawl errors inside of google webmaster tools. Google believe a lot of my links point to index.html when they really do not. That is not the problem though, its that google can't give credit for those links to any of my pages. I know I need to create a rule in the .htacess but the last time I did it I got an error. I need some assistance on how to go about doing this, I really don't want to lose the weight of my links. Thanks
