      Hi Everyone,

      I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com

      When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them.

      I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters.  Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank?

      Do you have recommendations or ideas?

      Thanks so much.

        Hi Jason,

        Could it be that someone accidentally has written the URL this way? Perhaps you have someone working on the content for this site who wrote the URL this way?

        Do you also have this error in other tools, like Google Webmaster Tools?

        Greets,
        Bas

            Hi Bas,

            No, the url isn't written back to back anywhere that I can find. I've scanned the whole site multiple times and gone through all content. For a while I thought this is some weird canonicalization issue. But to no avail.  No other errors in search console or Ahrefs. Moz is maybe finding a super deep error or this is some error happening in the scan?

                An error in the crawler is a possiblity. Although i'm not that familiar with the MOZ-crawler so i have to be careful 😉

                Have you considered issues where the URL is not actually written back to back in the code where you can see it? But where the crawler might get the impression that it has to written back to back? For instance in JavaScript/jQuery or similar techniques?

                Good luck!
