Java scripts creating 404

I have noticed that Moz crawler is unable to understand javascript links like this: https://www.olympus-ims.com/en/solutions/#!chooser[industries]=Mining-Geology

Is there a workaround for my reports?

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.

Thanks for writing in and sorry about the trouble!

Unfortunately, our crawler doesn't do a great job of parsing Javascript. If your site is primarily Javascript, then the data you get back with regards to the site crawl report won't be completely accurate because of this. There's no real workaround that I can recommend for this one, since it is a technical limitation of our tools, but I did find some good blog posts and discussions in the Q&A about this when I searched our Help Hub.

While the tools and data that rely on our crawl of your site may not return the best results because of that Javascript, your keyword rankings and link profile should work just fine.

You might also want to check out a few tools that are compatible with Javascript, like Botify or Screaming Frog.

I'm really sorry I can't be of more help here; I'll definitely be sure to pass this along to our Product team as feedback on your behalf. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, and if there are any follow-up questions you might have, just give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to help!
