Understanding AMP Validation
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is an open-source framework developed by Google to create web pages that load almost instantly on mobile devices. Validating your AMP pages is crucial to ensure they comply with the AMP standard and can be properly displayed in Google search results, potentially improving your SEO performance.
Why AMP Validation Matters
- Faster Page Loading - Properly validated AMP pages load significantly faster than standard web pages, reducing bounce rates.
- Improved Mobile Experience - AMP-optimized pages provide a smoother, more user-friendly experience on mobile devices.
- Better Search Visibility - Valid AMP pages may receive preferential treatment in Google search results with special formatting.
- Higher Engagement - Fast-loading AMP pages can lead to increased user engagement and lower bounce rates.
Common AMP Validation Errors
When validating your AMP pages, you might encounter several common issues. Here's how to identify and fix them:
Missing Required Tags
AMP pages require specific tags like <html amp> or <html ⚡>. Ensure your HTML includes all required AMP declarations.
Invalid AMP Boilerplate
AMP requires specific boilerplate code in the <head> section. This code must not be modified and should be included exactly as specified.
Disallowed Tags or Attributes
Certain HTML tags and attributes are not allowed in AMP pages. Replace them with AMP-specific alternatives like <amp-img> instead of <img>.
Missing Required Scripts
AMP pages require the core AMP script: <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> and additional scripts for certain components.
AMP Validation Best Practices
- Regular Validation: Check your AMP pages regularly, especially after making changes to ensure they remain valid.
- Test Across Devices: Validate and test your AMP pages on different devices to ensure consistent performance.
- Keep Updated: Stay informed about changes to AMP specifications and update your pages accordingly.
- Use Official Tools: Utilize the official AMP validator and other Google tools to ensure compliance.
