While Moz is hard at work on some major new product features (we're hoping for two more big launches in 2017), we're also working hard to iterate on recent advances. I'm happy to announce that, based on your thoughtful feedback and our own ever-growing wish lists, we've recently launched five upgrades to our Site Crawl.
1. Mark Issues as Fixed
It's fine to ignore issues that don't matter to your site or business, but many of you asked for a way to audit fixes or just let us know that you've made a fix prior to our next data update. So, from any issues page, you can now select items and "Mark as fixed" (screens below edited for content).
Fixed items will immediately be highlighted and, like Ignored issues, can be easily restored...
Unlike the "Ignore" feature, we'll also monitor these issues for you and warn you if they reappear. In a perfect world, you'd fix an issue once and be done, but we all know that real web development just doesn't work out that way.
2. View/Ignore/Fix More Issues
When we launched the "Ignore" feature, many of you were very happy (it was, frankly, long overdue), until you realized you could only ignore issues in chunks of 25 at a time. We have heard you loud and clear (seriously, Carl, stop calling) and have taken two steps. First, you can now view, ignore, and fix issues 100 at a time. This is the default – no action or extra clicks required.
3. Ignore Issues by Type
Second, you can now ignore entire issue types. Let's say, for example, that Moz.com intentionally has 33,000 Meta Noindex tags (for example). We really don't need to be reminded of that every week. So, once we make sure none of those are unintentional, we can go to the top of the issue page and click "Ignore Issue Type":
Look for this in the upper-right of any individual issue page. Just like individual issues, you can easily track all of your ignored issues and start paying attention to them again at any time. We just want to help you clear out the noise so that you can focus on what really matters to you.
4. Pixel-length Title Data
For years now, we've known that Google cut display titles by pixel length. We've provided research on this subject and have built our popular title tag checker around pixel length, but providing this data at product scale proved to be challenging. I'm happy to say that we've finally overcome those challenges, and "Pixel Length" has replaced Character Length in our title tag diagnostics.
Google currently uses a 600-pixel container, but you may notice that you receive warnings below that length. Due to making space to add the "..." and other considerations, our research has shown that the true cut-off point that Google uses is closer to 570 pixels. Site Crawl reflects our latest research on the subject.
As with other issues, you can export the full data to CSV, to sort and filter as desired:
Looks like we've got some work to do when it comes to brevity. Long title tags aren't always a bad thing, but this data will help you much better understand how and when Google may be cutting off your display titles in SERPs and decide whether you want to address it in specific cases.
5. Full Issue List Export
When we rebuilt Site Crawl, we were thrilled to provide data and exports on all pages crawled. Unfortunately, we took away the export of all issues (choosing to divide those up into major issue types). Some of you had clearly come to rely on the all issues export, and so we've re-added that functionality. You can find it next to "All Issues" on the main "Site Crawl Overview" page:
We hope you'll try out all of the new features and report back as we continue to improve on our Site Crawl engine and UI over the coming year. We'd love to hear what's working for you and what kind of results you're seeing as you fix your most pressing technical SEO issues.
New features Upgrades of MOZ Pro are really interesting and through the Mark of Issues Fixed, we can see issues have been fixed or not. As we know adding new features are always best and talking about these 5 new features upgrades to Moz pro's site crawl, this sounds exciting. The best thing is now we can ignore 100 issues at a time earlier it was 25. Great work Moz! Users gonna love it.
Moz is improoving each day, I feel glad to see all the changes and upgrades :)!
Very good work!
Sounds like some great features. It is important to be able to ignore non-critical problems so you can actually see the critical issues when the arise. Question - Does the Pixel Length Titles depend to the font used? A monospace slab font, like Currier, might space out differently than an Arial or Times New Roman.
The width is definitely font-dependent, but this is based on Google desktop SERPs, which are consistent (Roboto, if I recall).They switched font a year or so ago, if I recall correctly. We will do our best to update it as fonts/sizes change in the future. Mobile is a bit harder because there's no fixed container size -- the width of a mobile SERP can vary a bit with the device and screen size. Mobile display titles can also wrap to two lines.
Hey good improvement Moz !!
When can we start using them?
About a week ago :) All current customers should have access.
I know I highly value quality Titles and will avoid clicking through on something that isn't communicating via title that it has the results (droids) I am looking for; Really hoping the new Pixel-length Title Data feature encourages review and improvement of Titles as a habit!
Cool, marking issues as fixed is what I was missing. From now on, the projects are going to be much more tidy and clean.
Thank you Dr. Peter, for the post and for your work
Your improvements are our improvements
Hi colemanconcierge, I do not think it influences. But we better wait for Peter response.
Hello, I have this travel website https://www.wheretostay.tips and it’s a few months, when had been created. But still I cannot see any metrics from Moz, still zero values, am I in some kind of block from Moz or how to understand that? For example from Ahrefs I have all metrics ok, Majestic working well too. So that’s the reason why I’m so confused about Moz and why I canceled my trial.
Hey there -- thank you for your comment! Sorry to hear you've had trouble with the tool; could you drop our Help Team a line at [email protected] with the details? That way we can dig into the reason why you're missing crawl data and help you out a little better :)
Hi
Learned a lot of information from your article,its really good .Thnx for sharing this Amazing article, it’s very helpful to understand where we are going with Moz. Keep posting.
