Google AMP Pages

[Sparetoolparts]

Hi Guys

My Magento E-Commerce recently got an upgrade to the latest version and I've just been checking out my Search Console results and I see I have 150k pages which are failing on AMP.

the plugin I have is adding an AMP prefix to my pages but there seems to be an error with the code.


This AMP is new to me and I doubt it was being used on my old version of the site. I have an option in Magento to turn off/disable the pluggin which is handling the Google AMP pages.

Do you think I should turn it off for now and let google crawl my site without AMP?

TBH I'm not even fully sure what Google AMP is

Ignore AMP. Complete waste of time.

It has some limited use for topical news stories but that's about it. The way AMP works is Google caches the news content on their servers and can display the results for some searches. It means Google gets the traffic not you.

Remove AMP from your site and get on with the things that earn you money.

I've now disabled it on my website, so I would assume eventually Google will forget about these pages and this particular message in Search Console under Enhancements will vanish?

Would this issue with AMP pages be affecting my overall rankings?

We have been experimenting with AMP for years across about 15 sites. None of which gained any positive uplift and AMP pages received barely any traffic.

This year we have decided AMP is a bust and have started removing AMP entirely. I don't believe AMP is worth anything and my recommendation would be to remove it in favour of more focus to your main site structure, content and speed.

You should setup redirects for the time being at least so Google knows the pages have not GONE but have instead MOVED.
