I've had a sudden a increase in crawl issues as of yesterday (like 300 from a steady 10, does anyone else have this issue?

the main issue is that it's now indexing both www and http://  - anyone else got this issue or had any changes suddenly on their crawl results?

Hi Rebecca. Do you have a 301 redirect in place to set your preferred domain? i.e. If someone goes to http:// are they redirected to the www, vice versa, or do both work? If both work you could get crawling on both versions. Ideally you'll pick your preferred setup, add the 301, and also set that same preference within GWT and Bing.

My first response was going to be just what Ryan suggested!

I would look into why both are being indexed, which could be as simple as needing to redirect one version to the other, and then change your preferences in GWT & Bing. The issue should sort itself out after that has been taken care of.

Thank you both. I was wondering why it had done this now (the domain is at least 4 years old) but i'm going to do what you say and hope it fixes so thanks again!

If it makes things easier, based on your settings in that campaign you've always been crawling "all sites," including http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com. If this is due to a redirect, I'd guess that it's due to a redirect having been removed.

Have there been any changes made on that site recently?
