      Hey there Mozzers,

      I have a site that few months ago went from being http - https.

      All the links redirect perfect but after scanning my site with Screaming Frog i get a bunch of 503 errors.

      After looking into my website I see that a lot of links in my content and menu have as a link the http url.

      For example my homepage has content that interlinks to the http version of the site. And even though when I test it it redirects correctly after scanning with Screaming frog it reports back as 503.

      Any ideas what's going on?

      Thanks in advance

        Hi Angelos,

        Sounds like you have a couple things going on here.

        First lets look at this statement.

        After looking into my website I see that a lot of links in my content and menu have as a link the http url

        In this case you need to fix anything that references an http URL. HTTP and HTTPS are for all intents and purposes two different domains, it is like you own amazon.com and you are linking to ebay.com then ebay having redirects back to amazon.com. Need to fix this.

        Second a 503 error indicates a page is unavailable. This could be a number of things, improper redirects from the http to https, the server having issues, or dns having issues. If we are talking about the domain in your profile I was unable to reach it at all. For a better look at this issue let us know what domain we can look at.

        Hope to help,

        Don

          Hey there Don thanks for the answer.

          No i am not referring to the domain on my profile 😄 thanks for searching though.

          You are right i am having some server issues that are causing many many problems. Anyway I will probably come back with another question soon enough!

          Thanks again !
