          For several years month after month MOZ crawl reports 5xx errors on many pages. Almost every time all the pages work fine as fa as i could see. Google webmaster tools does not notice any errors.

          Could anyone explain how to fix this situation?

          Should i get a refund from MOZ?

            Unlike 3XX (301, 302 etc) or 4XX (404 etc) errors, 5XX errors are actually highly variable and relate to server errors. A page can give a 5XX error one second and then in a few seconds, return a full page instead. If you encounter high volumes of 'false-positive' 5XX or 0 (time out) errors, it's usually a sign that at a certain time your server is under strain and Moz is crawling it a bit too quickly (thus resulting in false positive 5XX errors)

            This could be if Moz decides to crawl your sit too quickly at peak operating time, or if Moz crawls your site when it's running something like a cron job (assuming that the job is handled by the same server which is handling your web requests). There can be many other reasons for 5XX false positives, but this is the most common

            You can delay Moz's crawl bot (rogerbot) from crawling your site too frequently:

            • https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot

            See if that helps. Keep in mind the change won't be instant, it may take a few weeks for it to be processed effectively. We had to do this recently for a client's site which was bound to a ridiculously weak hosting environ

            Hope that helps!

              Hey, thanks for reaching out!

              So it's entirely possible for our user-agent to get a response that doesn't reflect the same when you view it in a browser.  Have you checked your server logs for these 5xx errors responding to our user agent "rogerbot" to check if you see it on your end?  If you want to send us an email to [email protected], we can take a look into your specific example here, so we can make sure we have access to report on your site properly.

              thanks!

                Unsolved REfund

                refund

                Hello,
                We have no idea what Moz is or how it is used. We only learned your name when our credit card was charged. We want to cancel this subscription transaction somehow and get our money back. We called our bank to cancel our card and stated that the transaction was made without our knowledge. Please refund our money.

                A long time ago I'm pretty sure I used a tool that helped me write content for a webpage. It checked my writing as I typed and gave suggestions. I can't find the tool anymore. I hope I didn't imagine it as it was really useful..

                Crawl error robots.txt

                Hello, when trying to access the site crawl to be able to analyze our page, the following error appears: **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Nov 15, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Can help us? Thanks!

                I have removed a subdomain from my main domain. We have stopped the subdomain completely. However the crawl still shows the error for that sub-domain. How to remove the same from crawl reports.

                Earlier I had a forum as sub-domain and was mentioned in my main domain. However i have now discontinued the forum and have removed all the links and mention of the forum from my main domain. But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.
