Siteground blocking Ahrefs crawl bots?

Have any other Siteground/Ahrefs customers here seen this?

Just last week all the sites I host at Siteground started showing 202 errors on Ahrefs reports. Google sees the pages just fine and both SemRush and Screaming Frog do not report any problems.

I contacted Ahrefs support. They replied very quickly but did not see any problems from their end, suggesting the I may have some setting on my site blocking access. (I checked and so not.)

I also contacted Siteground support who also replied very quickly. After they looked into it they informed me that, "some of the more aggressive bots are either blocked or heavily rate-limited on our servers."

Do any of you find that the Ahrefs crawl bots are too aggressive for your hosts?

I may need to switch from Ahrefs to SemRush which would be a pain since I recently got a paid subscription to Ahrefs after looking at both.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
