Getting Started AMP Pages

These pages are specially added in a website for mobile search they are not   rendered well in the desk top. It is quite apparent that the search engines are taking AMP development seriously. It will certainly boost ranking to some extent if AMP pages along with structured data is included in the link architecture wisely.    

The AMP pages are actually duplicate pages that of the original but they include canonical instruction wherein the issue is resolved.

The Tag to be added to AMP Page

<link rel="canonical" href="https:///domainname/url/to/full/document.html">

The full form is Accelerated Mobile Pages, the pages are meant to deliver experience on the smart phones due to their ability to download faster. Certain features like images that would hardly be seen are sacrificed.  

Web designers familiar with regular HTML should have no difficulty with AMP HTML which is in truth a subset of the former. Whence an Amp page is added to the website a discovery tag has to be added to the original version. It is also wise to add structured data to amp pages.

Discovery Tag to be Added to Non AMP Page or the original version.

AMP Plugin          
Word Press Implementation 

The AMP plugin for Wordpress is being developed and is available at GitHub. After installation you can append “/amp/” to the permalink or use “?amp=1” as the case maybe. The Amp plugin would also append rel=amphtml tag for easy validation.

Along with this also use chrome validation for the page. For validation go to the AMP page in Chrome and append “#development=1” to the end of the URL. Press Control + Shift + I to open Developer Tools and go to the Console. Press refresh for successful validation.

Also validate all the AMP pages and keep in mind to specify height and width for images besides any other changes that may be required.
