Hi,
It is easy, you installed an SSL certificate but did not properly redirected the page, both http & https versions are accessible, thus creating duplicates. You have lost 5 DA points just last week during the latest update. Add this code to your .htaccess page and wait until the end of the month for the next update:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] Hope it helps!

Hi there!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here! It looks like PlanetHurf has sent you to a great resource about why the Domain Authority might drop for a particular site - do let me know if you have any follow up questions about that.
The Spam Score isn't entirely dependent on backlinks. We also calculate this score by analysing your site itself (the URL that you enter into Open Site Explorer) You can click directly on the Spam Score from within Open Site Explorer, and you'll see a list of reasons we've assigned a site a particular score - for instance with https://mza.seotoolninja.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=truckcare.com, you'll see some of the markers are 'Thin Content', 'Low Number of Pages Found', and 'No Contact Info'.
The general rule we have at Moz is that you shouldn't be concerned about anything that has a spam score under 8. Additionally, just because our tool has assigned a site a specific spam score does not mean it is impacting the site in any way. These are merely suggestions of things you might want to check out. If you haven't determined yourself that they are spammy links, then there is no action or further concern required on your part - looking into backlinks from sites with spam scores of 8 or higher would definitely be a good idea, just to ensure that you aren't being linked to from a site that is actually spammy.
If you'd like to learn more about the Spam Score in general, here are some super helpful resources:

http://truckcare.com/ this domain have 0 backlink pointing to it so why it shows a spam score of 9,which is so much high.

With regard to your DA dropping, take a look at this discussion that's taking place elsewhere on the Q & A Forum: <a>https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/is-everybody-seeing-da-pa-drops-after-last-moz-api-update</a> - It's starting to get interesting near the bottom.
Reducing the spam score will require some backlink analysis to identify the source of the links considered to be "spammy" and if you are concerned, and you are able, get them removed at source or use the disavow tool. Do read the advice given on this page before proceeding, though: <a>https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en</a>
Good luck!

Links on my website do not get highlighted by Moz bar in Chrome
I've used the Moz bar for many years to quickly figure out if a link is followed or no-followed. I recently used a Wordpress plugin to build lists of subjects and excerpts of pages with appropriate links. An example is at https://www.chicagotraveler.com/chicago-parks/ This is the main Parks section page. Below the map is a set of links and descriptions of each park in this section of the site. The problem is that when I use the Moz bar to look at this page, the links are not highlighted no matter which settings I click on. Followed, No-followed, External or Internal. I've looked at the code and while there is a bit of css nearby the links, they look fairly normal. Does this mean that moz thinks there is something wrong. Do you think google will also ignore these links? Should I scrap the plugin and build and maintain these lists manually?

Why can I see 404 pages in Google Analytics but nothing in the On-Demand Crawl?
Hello, I'm looking at some Google Analytics data for a website and can see a few 'Page not found's among the Page Titles, looking like these are 404 errors. To get a full list of what's 404-ing so I can get these redirected, the Moz on-demand crawl of the website has come back with no major errors and just a few metadata ones. Does anyone know any potential reasons why the audit has drawn a blank, and is there another way to get a comprehensive list of 404s, as I'm aware the Google Analytics data may not be covering all of them. Thanks very much Becky

Puzzled. High domain authority, but low page authority?
I have a question regarding how a page's authority can be low but the domain authority be high. I'm using the SERP report in moz to compare competing pages. The page I'm working on is an ecommerce category page. Moz says it has very low page authority, has been indexed for a little over a year, it's domain authority is a moderate 50, and has no root domains linking to it. It is more relevant than the other pages (has more products for sale that fit the keyword searched for), has a decent amount of copy on the page, but ranks around #10 in the search results. The competing pages are also ecommerce category pages. The 9 ranking higher have domain authority varying from 30-75, and 1 or 2 root domain links to them. Their number of products that match the keyword searched are all over the board, some have many matches, some have only 6 or 8 results. Some have a moderate amount of text on the page, some have very little text on the page. Yet they have page authority in the 30s-40s. What goes into page authority that I'm missing which would make these other pages have so much more authority when they are just slightly better in the other metrics listed above? What am I missing here?

Moz Bar Not Showing DA?
Hello all, This could be something to do with our site or the Moz bar on Chrome, I just need to know which it is so if it is our website we can look into it further. On certain sections of our website the Moz bar doesn't display any Domain Authority, not even zero, the bar just isn't present. These types of pages are php which pull in data through a feed daily. Speaking to an SEO expert they said it could be where the page is being updated so frequently, or it could be something more sinister and technically not quite right. Does anyone have any ideas? Is the Moz bar just not working for these types os pages or is it more likely something to do with my site? Ironically it's these pages which I'm having trouble with that are not showing in SERPs! Thanks! 3Foorka

How does an index page have a higher Authority than the root domain?
So just curious, but on my domain, http://www.bulwarkpestcontrol.com the Page Authority is 59 and the root domain authority 52. That seems odd as it is the same page. Explanation?
