      Hello,
      I don't understand why MOZ crawl only the homepage of our webiste https://www.modelos-de-curriculum.com

      We add the website correctly, and we asked for crawling all the pages. But the tool find only the homepage. Why?

      We are testing the tool before to suscribe. But we need to be sure that the tool is working for our website. If you can please help us.

        Certainly, I understand your concern about MOZ only crawling the homepage of your website despite adding it correctly and requesting a full crawl of all pages. It's frustrating when testing a tool before subscribing, and not getting the expected results can raise doubts about its functionality. To address this issue, I recommend double-checking your website's settings within the MOZ platform. Ensure that the website URL provided matches the actual structure of your site and that there are no typos or errors in the input. Additionally, review MOZ's documentation or contact their customer support to confirm if there are specific settings or configurations needed for a comprehensive crawl. Sometimes, minor adjustments in the tool's settings or the website's structure can make a significant difference in the crawling process. I hope this helps, and I wish you success in resolving this matter and making an informed decision about your subscription.

          Crawling only the home page of your website is a common practice in web indexing and search engine optimization. This approach allows search engine bots to focus on your site's main landing page, ensuring that it's properly indexed and ranked. Here's how you can specify that only the home page should be crawled:

          Robots.txt File,
          Canonical Tag
          Sitemap.xml,
          Noindex Tags,
          Meta Robots Tag

          By implementing these methods, you can direct search engine crawlers to focus primarily on your website's home page, ensuring that it receives the most attention in terms of indexing and ranking. This can be particularly useful if your home page is the most important and relevant page for your website's SEO strategy.

              Hello,

              There could be several reasons why MOZ is only crawling the homepage of your website, https://www.modelos-de-curriculum.com. Here are a few possibilities:

              Robots.txt file: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it's not blocking MOZ's web crawlers from accessing other pages. Make sure there are no disallow rules that could restrict access to certain areas of your site.

              Nofollow tags: Ensure that your website doesn't have "nofollow" tags on internal links that may be preventing MOZ from following and crawling those links.

              JavaScript: If your website heavily relies on JavaScript for content rendering, MOZ may face difficulty crawling the content. Ensure that important content is accessible without JavaScript.

              Canonical tags: Check for canonical tags in your website's HTML. If you have specified the homepage as the canonical page for all other pages, this could limit MOZ's ability to crawl additional pages.

              Site structure: MOZ may have trouble crawling pages with complex or unconventional site structures. Ensure that your website follows standard navigation and linking practices.

              Crawl settings: Double-check the settings in your MOZ account to confirm that you have requested a full site crawl, not just the homepage.

              If you've verified all these aspects and MOZ is still not crawling your website correctly, you may want to reach out to their support team for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your account and settings.

              Testing the tool before subscribing is a wise approach to ensure it meets your needs. I recommend contacting MOZ's support for personalized assistance in resolving the crawling issue with your website. (PMP Exam Prep) (Canada PR) (Study abroad) (Project Management Life Cycle)

                Hello,

                The reason Moz is only crawling the homepage of your website could be due to various factors. Here are a few possibilities:

                Robots.txt File: Check your website's robots.txt file to ensure that it doesn't block search engine crawlers from accessing specific pages.

                Meta Robots Tags: Make sure there are no "noindex" meta tags on your internal pages that might prevent them from being indexed.

                Crawl Restrictions: Moz may not have had enough time to crawl all the pages on your website. It might take some time for the tool to explore and index your entire site.

                Sitemap: Ensure that your website's sitemap is correctly submitted to Moz. A sitemap helps search engines find and index all the pages on your site.

                Internal Linking: Check if there are internal links from your homepage to other pages. A lack of internal links can make it harder for search engines to discover and crawl your site.

                Access Permissions: Make sure there are no access restrictions or password protection on certain pages.

                To resolve this issue and ensure Moz crawls all the pages of your website, consider checking and addressing these factors. If the problem persists, it might be helpful to reach out to Moz's customer support for specific assistance with your subscription trial.

                  check your .htaccess if there is something that is blocking crawlers.

                    Hi Community, has anyone else had a 404 error reported by Moz, where the end of the domain is /%25s? The error comes from my blog home page https://kaydee.net/blog/ But when I look at the source code, I can't see anything that has a space at the end of the URL. I wonder if it is to do with the WordPress search? Thanks in advance for any insight.

                    Can't get Google to index our site although all seems very good

                    seo tactic indexation optimization core web vitals crawl

                    Hi there, I am having issues getting our new site, https://vintners.co indexed by Google although it seems all technical and content requirements are well in place for it. In the past, I had way poorer websites running with very bad setups and performance indexed faster. What's concerning me, among others, is that the crawler of Google comes from time to time when looking on Google Search Console but does not seem to make progress or to even follow any link and the evolution does not seem to do what google says in GSC help. For instance, our sitemap.xml was submitted, for a few days, it seemed like it had an impact as many pages were then visible in the coverage report, showing them as "detected but not yet indexed" and now, they disappeared from the coverage report, it's like if it was not detected any more. Anybody has any advice to speed up or accelerate the indexing of a new website like ours? It's been launched since now almost two months and I was expected, at least on some core keywords, to quickly get indexed.

                    MOZ refusing access to certain sections of the website if using VPN?

                    I've used PIA and expressvpn before without any problems. Today I got nordvpn and when I try to access my campaigns and link explorer but the connection is being refused while I can access billing and the forum section. I don't have this problem anywhere else atm so I think this might not be a problem from my side but rather from these specific sections. Edit: Any idea what's going on?

                    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!

                    Moz crawls

                    Hi all! I'm running two separate campaign crawls at the moment that I'm having a few issues with. The first is http://www.muchbetteradventures.com/. I'm tracking this at root to try an pick any problems with a previous version of the site, which is on the v1.muchbetteradventures subdomain. However, I'm only seeing 100 or so pages as being crawled in Moz, compared to thousands in Google. There's no access blocked alerts in Moz either. The second is http://www.sothebys.com/. I started this crawl at root a few days ago and no pages at all have been processed. Very odd! Any advice would be much appreciated.
