On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
-
Hi!,
I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help!
I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/
However if I edit this to https the search completes fine.
Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk?
Thanks!

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the reply! I think that helps (in the sense I now know how messy our site structure is...). As I think any more conversation will get very site specific, I'll continue this with moz help

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I had a chance to peek at the URL that you've provided (http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/) and it appears that this URL currently has a 302 redirect in place and is redirecting to this URL: http://www.orbussoftware.com:80/us/enterprise-architecture/.
When you pull this URL up in a browser, it's directing fine, but your site is treating our tool differently when we attempt to access it.
Another thing I noticed, too, is that you also have a https:// version of your site and when we plug the URL https://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ not only does that resolve OK in a browser, but it works with the On-Page Grader as well. So, you have two different versions of your site that are configured differently when handling requests from us.
I'd recommend reaching out to your web developer to see if there's anything they can do to help out with the above.
I hope this helps but feel free to reach out to our team directly at [email protected] if you find out there's anything further we can assist with - and sorry for the inconvenience!

HI thanks for the reply.
I don't think I was clear, that URL works fine, its the on-page grader that doesn't recognise it and requires me to edit it to https before it recognises it as accessible. So, I'm copy-pasting the url when I'm on our enterprise architecture page directly into the onpage grader, and that's when I get the error.

I'm having no trouble accessing the site via the link you provided. Might be a caching issue on your browser.
Try removing all browsing data and trying again.

Moz bot has trouble crawling Angular JS - I believe it's seeing the SPA (Single Page Application) before Universal. Anyone else have this issue? What is the fix?
The Moz bot user agent detection settings are able to read Universal, but the Single Page Application (SPA) version partially loads on the website before Universal. Because of this, Moz (and possibly search engines) think we have massive duplicate content issues. For example, the crawl report said a particular product page (which has about 1,000 words) has 33,000 words and has duplicate content with over 300 other pages. This makes me believe it's only picking up the SPA version. Has anyone come across this, and what would be the fix?

Should keywords found in a keyword tool (eg. Keyword explorer) be implemented on a page in the exact order?
Hi guys, I have a question about adding keywords found directly from a keyword tool onto a webpage. I see a keyword opportunity from Moz's Keyword Explorer, for example, "dog giardia treatment natural" and was wondering if it should be worked into the page exactly in that order? For example, I've modified the question on the page to now read "Are there any other dog Giardia treatments that are natural?" Is this good practice? Should it be exactly in the order of the keyword found in the tool? Is what I've done too spammy? Appreciate any help! Thanks

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://[email protected] and http://[email protected] Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Keyword Grader & OmniExplorer_Bot Question
I found this in several of my clients Robots.txt "User-Agent: OmniExplorer_Bot Disallow: /" Right now I cannot grade any of them that are on a particular platform that has that written in. Would this block the keyword grader? Thanks!
