Today we’re announcing more detailed Site Error information in Webmaster Tools. This information is useful when looking for the source of your Site Errors. For example, if your site suffers from server connectivity problems, your server may simply be misconfigured; then again, it could also be completely unavailable! Since each Site Error (DNS, Server Connectivity, and Robots.txt Fetch) is comprised of several unique issues, we’ve broken down each category into more specific errors to provide you with a better analysis of your site’s health.
Site Errors will display statistics for each of your site-wide crawl errors from the past 90 days. In addition, it will show the failure rates for any category-specific errors that have been affecting your site.
If you’re not sure what a particular error means, you can read a short description of it by hovering over its entry in the legend. You can find more detailed information by following the “More info” link in the tooltip.
We hope that these changes will make Site Errors even more informative and helpful in keeping your site in tip-top shape. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know through the Webmaster Tools Help Forum.

ReplyDeleteIn the tab of 404 or 410 Errors, besides the FIXED button, please add one more button to DEFINITELY delete this pages. It is so frustrating to mark GONE pages as FIXED and they come back and appear again. I'm getting everyday URLs deleted more than 6 months ago. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteSite error description will more helpful for those who are non SEO people and using webmaster tool. By description we can beat site errors.
ReplyDeleteIt is good suggestion for websites health.
ReplyDeleteThere are no. of error in URL.
That's Really Helpful...
ReplyDeleteIt's Good, How about if we use some CDN Technologoies or some Caching Methods ? because if the site down from server then it's not available in live.
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm a newbie and not tech-savvy, many of Google's technicalities and rationale pass me by. For example, I know I can't understand computer code but what could possibly be the reason for making the capcha samples so difficult to read? This isn't a matter of national security, or is it? What if you simply have poor eyesight? I'm 71 tears old and trying to enter your world, the world in which my grandchildren already reside and I'm outside knocking at the door.
ReplyDeleteI 'm a writer with a website that publishes my work. I love writing and want only to reach people but you make this task difficult. I've tried to follow the map of your directions but I've no idea whethe I have or I haven't, whether I'm in or I'm out.
From many years of teaching I know that if you place knowledge you wih to inculcate beyond the reach of the student, that student will give up and lose more than the subject matter at hand.You risk destroying his self-esteem.
I'm too uptight or serious or something, you'll probably say. Sorry, Google, but even if you remove my comments, you made me mad!
Same like this post title "Site Errors Breakdown", i wanna post the "Errors" on Google on this pict

It's very handy indeed that google webmaster tools gives a description of the site errors that will help users to better deal with some particular errors and to identify them better. And this is a very good way to increase your website health and fix them errors!
ReplyDeletethis is what I like about Google technology, thx
ReplyDeletehope this will help in better seo. great features....
ReplyDeleteBe great if the errors were real errors.
ReplyDeleteMost of the errors listed are often pages long deleted or weird network errors or errors on other sites such a typo on another site. Can't think of a single error in the site errors section that was an error I can actually fix.
If google actually scanned the site instead of relying on other sites for links back to my site - the listings would definitely be improved.
There is no point for the site errors breakdown to keep listing files that have long been deleted or uppercase errors such as /Products instead of the actual /products folder or weird html errors where type is added to the end of .htm files (I would love to see the parameter page include an option to just ignore 'all parameters' and 'files other than the basic htm or html files'
Hi Admin.
ReplyDeleteWhen I try clear history of Google chrome, it's not done. Although it shows that the history is cleared but it's not happening in real. Please look into the matter.
Sometimes I think, that already no space for improval of Google tools and features, but everytime I'm not correct. Google team create new and new helpful possibilities. Thank you.
ReplyDeletewhat is DNS error??? how it's solve?????
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a URL error for a non-existent webpage on a blogspot.com blog. Doesn't need robots.txt as there's nothing to block; it's got all the Blogger default settings in scrawling/search preferences - so WHY is Google upset with Google?! :/
ReplyDelete"...it will show the failure rates for any category-specific errors that have been affecting your site."
ReplyDeleteTherefore I have some questions:
- What kind of affect do you mean?
- Is the complete site affected or only the pages which can not be reached?
