text: Unsolved 4xx error help
  Good morning. My site says I have over 300 pages with 4xx errors. When I go in to check they are either labeled with a code 406 or 409. My page is set without the www before the url but I see that it is considered a redirect. Can this be the cause?
  Thanks in advance.

  The HTTP status codes 406 and 409 indicate different types of errors, and they can have various causes. Let's explore each of these codes and the possible reasons for the errors:
  HTTP 406 - Not Acceptable:
  The HTTP 406 status code typically occurs when the server cannot fulfill the request because the client's requested response format is not available or not acceptable.
  This error can occur if the client (such as a web browser) sends a request with specific headers indicating the desired response format (e.g., JSON, XML), but the server cannot provide that format.
  To resolve this issue, you may need to review the request headers being sent by the client and ensure that your server is configured to handle the requested response formats. Alternatively, you can modify the client-side code or configuration to handle the available response formats.
  HTTP 409 - Conflict:The HTTP 409 status code indicates that there is a conflict with the current state of the target resource, often due to a conflicting modification or versioning issue.
  This error can occur if there are conflicts between the client's request and the server's current state, such as attempting to update a resource that has been modified since the client last accessed it.
  To resolve this issue, you may need to investigate the specific requests that trigger the 409 error and identify any conflicts or synchronization problems. Review your application logic or server-side code to ensure proper handling of concurrent updates and avoid conflicts.
  Regarding the use of the "www" prefix, it typically shouldn't cause a 406 or 409 error by itself. However, if your website is configured to redirect from one URL structure to another (e.g., from "example.com" to "www.example.com" or vice versa), improper redirections or misconfigurations could potentially result in such errors. Ensure that your URL redirections are set up correctly to avoid any conflicts.To address the issue of the reported 4xx errors on your site, it's important to investigate the specific URLs and requests triggering these errors. Check your server logs, review the configuration of your web server or application, and analyze the requests to identify any patterns or common causes for the errors. Fixing any configuration or code issues related to the requests should help resolve the reported errors.

  @lgeprimeplumbing It's unlikely that the absence of 'www' is causing the 4xx errors since that's standard practice. However, these errors could arise from different issues. Code 406 happens when the server can't meet the request's "Accept" headers, whereas 409 indicates a conflict, like simultaneous updates. A thorough website audit, including your content negotiation strategy and version control system, can help pinpoint and fix the problem.

  Unsolved Pages say Blacklisted
  I have a number of pages on the 4xx error report page that show a page tile saying 'Blacklisted' in MOZ on the critical errors page. What is this and how do I check it is really an issue and fix it? Some of the pages that show with this issue rank on page one in google.

  Hi Everyone, This is my first post on Moz. I have been trying to get this thing sorted and have read everywhere and everyone just says don't worry about it. I would really like some advice/suggestions on this it will be really helpful. When I use the Google URL inspection tool from the Google search console the page rendering is completely broken. The tool refuses to load resources each time. At end of the day that's how the website is rendered in Google cache. I have already tried disabling cache plugins and Cloudflare but nothing works. site - nationalcarparts.co.nz

  This is how it renders when using URL inspection tool -
  https://prnt.sc/7XKHtEU01gEl and if you check cache:https://nationalcarparts.co.nz this is how Google is caching it. Plugins I am using - Elementor Version 3.6.1, Elementor Pro Version 3.6.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Version 2.5.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Pro Version 1.4.6, WP- rocket, Cloudflare Pro plan with the plugin. Please if someone has fixed this issue and has a possible solution for it. Thanks cacheissue1.PNG1 -
  I have a client who sells highly technical products and has lots and lots (a couple of hundred) pdf datasheets that can be downloaded from their website. But in order to download a datasheet, a user has to register on the site. Once they are registered, they can download whatever they want (I know this isn't a good idea but this wasn't set up by us and is historical). On doing a Moz crawl of the site, it came up with a couple of hundred 401 errors. When I investigated, they are all pages where there is a button to click through to get one of these downloads. The Moz error report calls the error "Bot verification". My questions are:

  Are these really errors?
  If so, what can I do to fix them?
  If not, can I just tell Moz to ignore them or will this cause bigger problems?0 -
  Hello! I have a new blog that is only 1 month old and I already have over 3000 4xx errors which I've never had on my previous blogs. I ran a crawl on my site and it's showing as my social media links as being indexed as pages. For example, my blog post link is:
  Technical SEO | | thebloggersi
  My site is then creating a link like the below:
  But these are not real pages and I have no idea how they got created. I then paid someone to index the links because I was advised by Moz, but it's still not working. All the errors are the same, it's indexing my Twitter account and my Pinterest. Can someone please help, I'm really at a loss with it.
