Incorrect crawl errors
-
A crawl of my websites has indicated that there are some 5XX server errors on my website:
Error Code 608: Page not Decodable as Specified Content Encoding
Error Code 803: Incomplete HTTP Response Received
Error Code 803: Incomplete HTTP Response Received
Error Code 608: Page not Decodable as Specified Content Encoding
Error Code 902: Network Errors Prevented Crawler from Contacting ServerThe five pages in question are all in fact perfectly working pages and are returning HTTP 200 codes. Is this a problem with the Moz crawler?

Thanks for this! I didn't think to check the server logs. I'll have them checked and make sure that it's not blocking Moz out from the crawl. We have thousands of URL's on our website and quite a strict security policy on the server - so I imagine Moz has probably been blocked out.
Thanks,
Liam

Hi,
These error code's are Moz custom codes to list errors it encounters when crawling your site - it's quite possible that when you check these pages in a browser that they load fine (and that google bot is able to crawl them as well).
You can find the full list of crawl errors here: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/search-overview/crawl-diagnostics/errors-in-crawl-reports. You could try to check these url's with a tool like web-sniffer.net to check the responses and check the configuration of your server.

608 errors: Home page not decodable as specified Content-Encoding
The server response headers indicated the response used gzip or deflate encoding but our crawler could not understand the encoding used. To resolve 608 errors, fix your site server so that it properly encodes the responses it sends. -
803 errors: Incomplete HTTP response received
Your site closed its TCP connection to our crawler before our crawler could read a complete HTTP response. This typically occurs when misconfigured back-end software responds with a status line and headers but immediately closes the connection without sending any response data. -
902 errors: Unable to contact server
The crawler resolved an IP address from the host name but failed to connect at port 80 for that address. This error may occur when a site blocks Moz's IP address ranges. Please make sure you're not blocking AWS.
Without the actual url's it's impossible to guess what is happening in your specific case.
Hope this helps,
Dirk

My company has about 70 live pages. Moz crawled 6k. Why?
My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

Can i Force opensiteexplorer to crawl a url?
Hello. I check the QA and didnt find an answer to this. I've check one link on my site which is indexed by google but not by mozopensite explorer. If i search the url i find it on google but not i nopen site explorer. This only means that open site explorer havent find it. IF google index that page this means i'm getting the juice? My question is if google index a page for sure it follow one of the links (follow link). This is importan for me since this is my best DA link, probably a game changer for us. Also, Is there a Way to force opensiteexplorer to crawl this page? Thank you.

Open Site Explorer: Error receiving data
Hi, When searching many URLs in Open Site Explorer, we seem to be getting the same "There was an error getting your data" message come up instead of the URL's metrics and inbound links. We have tried on different browsers as well, and the same issue results. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this? Thank you! voPdqF5.png?1

803 Errors, how to deal with this?
Hello, During my last two MOZ crawls over couple of hundred 803 errors showed up. Thought that this might stop, but nop still creeping up. Not sure what has caused this. My server providers are WP-Engine and they already said that all good at their end. Pretty much all of those errors are for photos on my blog. I'm a photographer. I have a web guy as well, but he is not sure what to do now and how to get this fixed. Website is a-fotografy.co.uk Thank you and if someone could shed some light. I did research here already, but nothing what cover photo side. Regards, Armands

Local listings aren't being crawled?
Hello, SEO brainiacs. Here is the problem I can't figure out:We have a lot of clients and all of them have local listings, such as Insider Pages, Yahoo local, Bing locals, Yelp, Yellow Pages etc etc etc.
Link Explorer | | seomozinator
And all of those local listing have company's website link. But none of those links are considered (found) in reports, such as opensite explorer or in Link Analysis Section of Moz PRO. I do know that MOZ crawl considers only high DA websites, but all of local listing domains have above 80-90 DA score, so they can't be NOT crawled. I will say that some local listings do appear on very few reports, but far not all of them. So, what can be the problem?0 -
Remove Meta Description Errors
When Moz shows pages that are 404's you are able to remove them after the issue is fixed. Is there a way to do this for missing Meta Descriptions? It shows that numerous pages are missing them, but when I go look, it's already been corrected and it is still showing months later.

Does OSE crawl our site often? Or do we have an other problem? (internal links)
I am wondering if i can find out when OpenSiteExplorer crawled our entire website for the last time.
Link Explorer | | wilcoXXL
A few months ago we added some internal textlinks to all of our productpages. Those are links to the brandpage of that particular product. Some of our brands do have up to 1500 products, so there should be at least 1500 internal links pointing to that brandpage. But OSE still gives me a wrong count. It says there is only 1 internal link pointing to that brandpage.
Is it because OSE never crawled our site again? Or am i missing something here?(maybe too many internal links to one specific brandpage is not okay?) I'll hope you guys can help me out with this one.0
