Why isn't the Moz crawler getting all of my item pages?
-
I am stumped and Moz is being terrible to work with.
This site has about 40k pages
39,800 of them are item pages roughly.
Moz is only finding about 2400 of my pages. So they are missing most but not all of my item pages.
I do not know which item pages they are missing.
The fact that they are finding about 2k but not the rest leads me to believe the crawler is struggling with pagination.
The site is built on Magento 2 and uses the Amasty Layered Navigation extension.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Meghan from Moz pointed out I had Disallow: /*? in the robots.txt and that appears to have been the problem. It is the default Magento 2 setting, so not sure why they had that in there.

Hi Tyler, are you setting your pagination pages as nofollow? That might be causing the issue. Any chance you can post the URL and we can try crawling the site to see if we hit any issues with a crawlers like screaming frog?

Is MOZ any good to analyze an e-commerce site? How come that a cms page can be seen as duplicate content with a category page?
Hi Guys, I've been using Moz for quite a long time now for 2 of my shops. Now I am in the process of launching the second shop and I just don't understand how is it possible that a cms static page (About US) to be seen as a duplicate content with other 96 pages - including product pages and other totally different pages such as delivery information, category pages, returns and so on. Really MOZ?? Is it me or you?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Comparing details of current on-page grade reports with previous reports
Hi Whilst i've set up reporting for on-page grader when it comes through on report it just shows any changes in grade and rank, what i also want to look at is changes in the detail/components of current report compared to previous reports, is this possible historically (over the previous reporting periods) ? There doesn't seem to be any kind of archive that i can find to previously carried out on-page grade report ? Cheers Dan

Moz crawl sees meta description but there are none
I have a new site I have run a starter crawl on. The crawl came back saying some of the pages do indeed have meta descriptions. When I go to the same page and use the Moz Chrome toolbar it says they do not have meta descriptions. I also know they do not have meta descriptions. Are there any instances in which the Moz crawler would see them when they are not there?
