      Our site is secure but when I ask moz to crawl it by giving the root domain including https moz insists on crawling the non secure version.  How do i force it to crawl the secure version?

        Does your website have a canonical tag in place?

          Hey, thanks for reaching out!

          Yes Moz will always start at the HTTP level, however that doesn't stop us from crawling HTTPS, if you have proper redirection in place.  Unfortunately there isn't a way to "force" the crawler, we will crawl the entire domain (or scope that is designated).

          Let us know if you have further questions!

          • 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.
