Pro Campaign crawls - why no Referrer?
-
I have a few campaigns set up and on one I am trying to remove 301 redirects from old links by updating them by hand (I like to have clean code).
Although on a manual crawl you can see the referrer on a pro scheduled crawl there is the page title and the redirects to but no referrer. It's not the end of the world as I can run a manual one but its making more work for the crawler and wasting a bit of time.
Or have I missed something?

Thanks for the question!
You're right in that we don't list the referrer URL in the UI for a normal weekly crawl at the moment. You can still get this data if you run an export. When you're logged into the campaign, head over to the crawl diagnostics page. Here you should see a drop down where you can choose csv and export. Once this is downloaded, all you need to do is sort the column for error type and scroll over for the referrer. Hopefully that saves you a little time

That's exactly what I needed to know. I presumed I was missing something as there would be no point in doing it twice!
