      Moz keeps giving us an error showing URL too long, when I investigate the offending url, I get this in the crawl. We can't work out what /essions is or why it's appending to the end of the url. Is this a Moz or website issue?

        Usually, we are talking about a wrongly coded page, which gives you a loop when crawling. If you can show the site itself, I will gladly help you find it.

        If you cannot disclose the url, you can do the following: create a crawl with a tool such as Screaming Frog, filter for these URLs, and check their inlinks and anchor texts specifically for this type of URLs. When you will find a pattern, you will find where the code is broken. 🙂 Good luck!
