URL Manager & Custom Error Handler

An often overlooked yet critical aspect of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is error handling and the management of URLs.  While .Net error handling will redirect customers to a custom error page, it fails however to report that error has even occurred to search engine crawlers on the website. These website crawlers listen to whatever status code is returned in response to a page request.

Common status codes important to SEO:

  • 200 – Page Found, Page loaded without issue
  • 301 – Page Permanently Redirected, Page URL has changed associates the previous page’s history with new page
  • 302 – Page Temporarily Redirected, Page URL is currently changed
  • 404 – Page Not Found, Page is currently unavailable
  • 410 – Page Permanently Removed, Page is no longer available; remove from web crawlers’ index history
  • 418 – I’m a teapot (RFC 2324)
  • 500 – Internal Server Error, Error occurred while attempting to process the request
  • 503 – Service Unavailable, Service is currently unavailable

Custom Error Handler

The Moco Custom Error Handler employs the use of.Net Custom Errors settings and additional configuration settings to personalize error handling to meet your needs. By employing the .Net Custom Errors settings the Moco Custom Error Handler can switch seamlessly between the .Net error handler and Moco Custom Error Handler. Configuration settings allow defaulting of all errors or suppression of server errors to a specified status code.

URL Manager

The URL Manager utilizes rules which will match a patterned expression with the error path, then specify the destination path and status code of the error response. An expression can be matched to a path defined by one of three types of pattern interactions: exact match, regular expression match and regular expression replacement. Advanced logging assists in the monitoring of URL error paths, status code, error occurrence frequency, and first entry and last entry time stamp. The URL Manager rules and advanced logs are managed through an integrated administration interface.

Features

  • Allow the original error status codes to naturally bubble up to the surface in the form of a hard error.
  • Set the default status code causing all errors to return the set value (e.g. 404 …Page Not Found transferred to an error page or 301… Permanent Redirect to a home page).
  • Set the error suppression code to prevent the disclosure of the exact nature of internal server errors (e.g. 418… I’m a teapot, although 500… Internal Server Error or 503… Service Unavailable might be more appropriate).
  • Monitor missing pages or other type’s errors to be able to determine appropriate actions.
  • Manage custom URL rules to inform search engine web crawlers when a page is missing, moved, or removed.
