Error 403
-
I'm getting this message "We were unable to grade that page. We received a response code of 403. URL content not parseable" when using the On-Page Report Card. Does anyone know how to go about fixing this? I feel like I've tried everything.

I am getting 403 errors for this crazy url:
How do I get rid of this error?
I am also getting 404 errors for pages that do not exist anymore. How do I get rid of those?

Great answers Mike!
Jessica, if you're still having issues with the Crawl Test and it seems like a tool issue, let us know at [email protected] - you'll get a faster response from our Help Team for your tool questions that way (unless, of course, a mozzer like Mike beats us to it!)

I will check that out. Thank you so much!

Is there another folder on your server called resources? If so that maybe the problem. See this thread...
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/suddenly-getting-403-forbiden-error-on-one-page-only
I did run Xenu on your site and experienced the 403 error on that page only. There were other 404s that need to be fixed as well FYI,,,

Thank you so much for your help!

Jessica,
Is the page(s) in question indexed by Google? I
I would recommend trying another site crawl tool like Xenu Link Sleuth, GSiteCrawler and see if they are able to crawl the site without issue. Could also be something to do with your hosting company trying to prevent Denial of Service (DOS) attacks... If you want to send me the URL I am happy to crawl it for you with one of these tools.

It is actually wordpress. Everything looks fine when visiting the URL and inside the wordpress but when I grade the SEO content it gives me the 403 error.
It happened after I added the SEO text to a page that had images within the same text box. Does that make a difference?
-
seems like your website is blocking access to the file. A few questions:
1. Are you blocking robots in your txt file from this url?
2. Do you get the 403 erri when you manually visit the page?
3. What CMS if any are you using? If it is Joomla we've seen some strange things happen with some of the security modules when using crawl tools such as GSiteCrawler.

Unsolved Using Weglot on wordpress (errors)
Good day to you all, Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress? Moz is pulling up URLs such as: https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL. Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution .. Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
From what I can tell, SEO experts recommend setting blog category and tag pages (ie. "http://site.com/blog/tag/some-product") as "noindex, follow" in order to keep the page quality of indexable pages high. However, I just received a slew of critical crawl warnings from Moz for having these pages set to "noindex." Should the pages be indexed? If not, why am I receiving critical crawl warnings from Moz and how do I prevent this?

How do fix an 803 Error?
I got am 803 error this week on the Moz crawl for one of my pages. The page loads normally in the browser. We use cloudflare. Is there anything that I should do or do I wait a week and hope it disappears? 803 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.

Warnings, Notices, and Errors- don't know how to correct these
I have been watching my Notices, Warnings and Errors increase since I added a blog to our WordPress site. Is this effecting our SEO? We now have the following: 2 4XX errors. 1 is for a page that we changed the title and nav for in mid March. And one for a page we removed. The nav on the site is working as far as I can see. This seems like a cache issue, but who knows? 20 warnings for “missing meta description tag”. These are all blog archive and author pages. Some have resulted from pagination and are “Part 2, Part 3, Part 4” etc. Others are the first page for authors. And there is one called “new page” that I can’t locate in our Pages admin and have no idea what it is. 5 warnings for “title element too long”. These are also archive pages that have the blog name and so are pages I can’t access through the admin to control page title plus “part 2’s and so on. 71 Notices for “Rel Cononical”. The rel cononicals are all being generated automatically and are for pages of all sorts. Some are for a content pages within the site, a bunch are blog posts, and archive pages for date, blog category and pagination archive pages 6 are 301’s. These are split between blog pagination, author and a couple of site content pages- contact and portfolio. Can’t imagine why these are here. 8 meta-robot nofollow. These are blog articles but only some of the posts. Don’t know why we are generating this for some and not all. And half of them are for the exact same page so there are really only 4 originals on this list. The others are dupes. 8 Blocked my meta-robots. And are also for the same 4 blog posts but duplicated twice each. We use All in One SEO. There is an option to use noindex for archives, categories that I do not have enabled. And also to autogenerate descriptions which I do not have enabled. I wasn’t concerned about these at first, but I read these (below) questions yesterday, and think I'd better do something as these are mounting up. I’m wondering if I should be asking our team for some code changes but not sure what exactly would be best. http://www.seomoz.org/q/pages-i-dont-want-customers-to-see http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html Our site is http://www.fateyes.com Thanks so much for any assistance on this!

How to resolve Duplicate Content crawl errors for Magento Login Page
I am using the Magento shopping cart, and 99% of my duplicate content errors come from the login page. The URL looks like: http://www.site.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbW1zcGVjaW9zYS5jb20vcmV2aWV3L3Byb2R1Y3QvbGlzdC9pZC8xOTYvY2F0ZWdvcnkvNC8jcmV2aWV3LWZvcm0%2C/ Or, the same url but with the long string different from the one above. This link is available at the top of every page in my site, but I have made sure to add "rel=nofollow" as an attribute to the link in every case (it is done easily by modifying the header links template). Is there something else I should be doing? Do I need to try to add canonical to the login page? If so, does anyone know how to do it using XML?
