Can a Global Website Rely on Browser Settings for Translation?
Howdy. Hreflangs implementation works along with browser settings. So, getting rid of hreflangs and rely on browser settings alone will not fix your problems. I wonder if all those errors have something to do with your hreflangs not working properly. Other than that, you can use IPs for "helping" browsers to determine the location. You can use suggestive popup or banner for languages etc like: Examine the Accept headers sent by the browser. Use IP geolocation to determine the user's location and guess an appropriate language. Force the user to explicitly select a language, as exemplified by Wikipedia. Hope this helps.

Exclude URL Parameters?
Hey there ArisGrast, Personally, I would probably canonicalise the category pages to the original base category to reduce the risk of duplicate content. But that is just me. I would also suggest setting up your website in Google's Search Console. Once in here you can then set the crawl rate and other crawl elements such as URL Parameters. First if not already done - add your website. Once your site is verified - either by a meta tag, google tag manager or maybe a hosted file, you can then edit what happens. On the side menu of the profile in question select -> Crawl -> URL Parameters Once in this section you can add the variables you do not want indexing. While in here I would also suggest submitting an XML Sitemap and checking a few other things. If you also have Google Analytics set up you can link your profiles together for added benefits. Hope this is off use and answers some parts of your question.

Confused by "Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once".
Hey there! The 'Document Text' does refer to the text on the page - I'm afraid though it is possible that the On-Page Grader isn't counting keywords used on the page correctly. We have seen this before, and the team has made the decision that they're not going to be pursuing fixes for the On-Page Grader tool at this time. The same functionality is available through the Page Optimization section of your campaigns, and in the Page Optimization tool from the MozBar, and those tools are far more reliable than the On-Page Grader. We'd recommend using the these instead for all your Page Optimization needs going forward. If you're still running into the same problem using the Page Optimization tool, please do pop a message over to help@moz.com with an example of a keyword/URL combination, and we'll be more than happy to investigate.

Title Tags & Meta descriptions do not update
Thanks for the tips Tymen and Tim. I see that Google indeed sometimes uses my new title tags and meta descriptions depending on the search terms (but not as much as I'd like). I have re-crawled my website Tim. I hope it helps. Best, Rik

Domain Authority Goes Down After Https change
I agree with Sean! This seems to be a case of Moz updating their information with new data. Your HTTP site was being redirected to HTTPS so on that new run they picked up everything around your new domain.

Help Setting Up 301 Redirects from Coldfusion Site to Wordpress Site.
Hey Britney, No, the old (ColdFusion) site and the new (PHP) site are on the same linux (CentOS) server. The 301 redirect rule I described above in my original post is applying '.cfm' to the end of the destination URL - thats the main issue we're trying to tackle here. Thanks for responding!

Should I worry about rendering problems of my pages in google search console fetch as google?
This is a great question. You will likely get a few different opinions as well. I for one am a fan of using the Google Text Cache as my primary source to determine if something is crawlable. However, I do tend to support my hypothesis with the fetch and render tool as well. Screaming Frog recently launched an update to their toolset which includes rendering. Consider downloading and seeing how their toolset displays your pages content. It can be another good source for validating if everything is crawlable. Nick

Proper 301 redirect code for http to https
Try this for a complete site wide redirect to HTTPS:// RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] I have also updated all my exiting 301 redirect to point to the new location. All older pages should be caught under this rule. Also remember to update your Search Console profiles, sitemap, robots etc I would also update all internal links to point to https:// rather than relying purely on the redirect.
