      Hi! I am getting this message Error Code 612: Error response for robots.txt, so the crawler do not check any page of the site. The status code for the robots.txt is 200 and it does not seem Googlebot has any problem crawling the site, so I don't know what the matter is.

      The site is http://www.musicopolix.com/

      Thanks so much in advance for any help!

        I can confirm there is an issue here -- For example: https://webmaster.yandex.com/robots.xml allows you to test robots.txt on your site, and is currently stating it cannot load the file.

        Have you checked the server logs to look for any errors/timeouts when crawlers are trying to load the file?

        It is also possible you are blocking bots from accessing the page with the host or via htaccess..

          Hi! Thanks for your answer! We found the problem with the help of Moz support team. Roger was being blocked by our server (http status code 403) but now it is solved and Roger can crawl our site without any problem. 🙂

            Perfect.. sounds like "It is also possible you are blocking bots from accessing the page with the host or via htaccess.." was in the right direction!

            Cheers,

            Jake

            • Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jun 22, 2020\. We were unable to access your site due to a page timeout on your robots.txt, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site.
