URL Length
-
I have a simple question. How many characters can a URL be before Moz flags it as too long?
-
Yes, the 75 characters length recommendation includes the http://
Regards.
-
Just to clarify, is "http://" included in the character count?
-
Thx

Hi,
75 characters.
“Choose shorter, human-readable URLs with descriptive keywords. We recommend keeping URLs under 75 characters. When possible, place content on the same subdomain to preserve authority. Optimal format: http://www.example.com/category-keyword/subcategory-keyword/primary-keyword.html.”
Kind regards

901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
Hi Everyone, I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them. I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank? Do you have recommendations or ideas? Thanks so much.

A lot of duplicate content issues - does Moz understand canonical URL?
Hi, Since I subscribed to Moz my Magento store has given a lot of duplicate content issues. However, I did have a problem with Canonical URL at the time. It has been settled for a couple of weeks by now and although I had 302 redirects before, I configured Magento to 301 today. Since Moz has been crawling and showing duplicate content for exactly the same Magento pages but with endings like store=us, store=aus etc (since I have several store views enabled), I am wondering whether canonical URL does actually help Google to skip these versions of the duplicate pages and does Moz also understand it and will it reduce the amount of duplicate content errors once the 301 redirects and canonical URLs have been properly set for a week or so? Thanks!

Fixing Non-Valid URL - Oops! This does not appear to be a valid URL. Please try again.
Edit - Turns out I can't delete a question. I ended up finding out I'm supposed to email the Moz team at [email protected]. I did a search regarding the issue, but I only found answers for people using AWS. The results say the .htaccess isn't setup correctly, but I don't know how to fix that file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
