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.

Site crawl warning - concatenated urls from Wordpress
I could use some help on how to fix this. I asked at the walkthrough but was told it was a Wordpress issue but so far I can't find anything to point me in the right direction. There are no errors in the files on server side and I have asked my hosting company too. I am hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on it. One of my websites it giving 404 errors on links that are formed as below and there are over 12.7K of them! Example: <mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl> The link that relates to my website is valid and working, but I don't understand the rest. I am totally stumped on how to move forward with this. Any advice, suggestions, tips on how to fix these errors and stop these types of links getting generated. Thanks.

Error in Duplicate Content Being Reported - Pages Aren't Actually Duplicates
The recent crawl of one of our sites revealed a high number of duplicate content issues. However, when I viewed the report for pages with duplicate content I noticed almost all of them are not duplicates. For example, these two pages are marked as dupes:
Moz Bar | | M_D_Golden_Peak
https://www.writersstore.com/publishers/hollywood-creative-directory
https://www.writersstore.com/authors/g-miki-hayden These are thin as far as content goes but definitely not duplicates. Any recommendations or ways to adjust the settings so that these false positives aren't clogging up our site crawl report?0 -
Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy

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.

Mozbar showing 0 links for pages in the main nav.
I'm working on a site where the mozbar is showing 0 links for every page in the main nav menu but home. A crawl of the site isn't showing any issues with blocked or nofollowed meta robots. Is this simply a bug in mozbar? What else could be causing this? If this is a problem with on page seo what is the solution?
