      In my Moz crawl report I get:

      Crawl Error
      Moz encountered an error on one or more pages on your site
      Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered

      The Moz Help Section only says:

      804 HTTPS (SSL) error

      804 errors result from a site with misconfigured SSL software. If Moz's crawlers cannot correctly interpret an SSL response for a home page, the crawl ends immediately.

      My site is publicly accessible on https -

      https://www.respoke.io/

      And I'm not seeing any issues with my certificate.

      Can anyone help me out? What steps can I take to troubleshoot this error? If SSL is misconfigured, how do I configure it properly?

        Hi,

        I did a test crawl of your site with Screaming Frog & didn't find anything special. Sampling a few pages of your site didn't reveal anything really specific regarding to the SSL certificate. I would try to contact Moz support directly (http://moz.com/about/contact).  They should be able to give you some more info on the error you encounter.

        Sorry that I can't offer more help

        rgds,

        Dirk

                Is this still an issue for anyone else?

                We keep getting it in our Moz account for our website https://www.collegeatlas.org. Unsure of how to troubleshoot it because I don't know what the issue is. It seems that Google or Yahoo have a problem getting us indexed.

                  I'm having this same issue on a SquareSpace site. With issues I've seen from SS in the past, like blocking SEMRush, I wouldn't be surprised if it's them instead of a Moz thing. 
                  Has anyone else had issues with this & squarespace or is that just a bad idea?

                    @nateknox & @rachel.cachel: This question is more than 1 yr old - apart from the original poster & the people who replied nobody is seeing the questions you ask. If you need help - post a new question in the Q&A
