      Lately, I've been having the issue of a large increase in 500 errors. These errors seem to be intermittent, in other words, Google and Moz are showing that I have server 500 errors for many pages but, when I actually check the links, everything's fine. I've run tests to see if there is any virus on the server or if I have any corrupt files and as far as I can tell, there are none. I'm left with the possibility that maybe one of my plugins is causing this issue (I'm built on top of Wordpress). Moz is showing that I had nearly five hundred 500 server errors on the 12th or the 11th. On the other hand, Google shows that on the 13th I had 179 server errors and then an additional 200 for the 15th. I'm assuming Google is slow to find or report these things? I would like to know which is more reliable so that I can try to figure out which of these plugins may be causing the problem, if any or if I'm investigating this the wrong way, I'd love to have more suggestions. Thanks in advance!

      Sorry, the url is http://www.heartspm.com if you'd like to take a look.

        Hi Gerald,

        Without the url it's difficult to check what's wrong with your site. You could try to use tools like http://web-sniffer.net/ or http://webpagetest.org/ to check what is happening with your pages. If you don't want to disclose your url you could send me a private message so I could have a look & check.

        rgds,

        Dirk

          Hello,

          Check your website with "Screaming Frog Spider", with it you will get all the info you need ( broken links, duplicated content etc... ).

          The problem may be already solved but google still has the "cached" version of your website which contains the errors 🙂

          • For some reason MOZ is not indexing anything but the home page of my site. Google appears to be indexing the whole site. But it makes my MOZ reports useless. Any recommendations?
