In this article, you will learn how to test and validate your Magento 2 AMP pages, as well as make sure these AMP pages have been indexed by Google. Valid AMP pages are indexed and stored in Google Cache, which means that pages load in less than 1 second from mobile Google search results. Please follow the steps below to validate AMP pages.
Google Chrome Extension (Recommended)
We recommend using Chrome extension for validating your AMP pages, as it is the easiest and fastest way. It helps quickly find the AMP version of the page and check if it is valid.
First, search for the AMP Validator Chrome extension in Chrome Web Store and install it.
Step-by-step guide:
- Go to your website Homepage and swith to AMP mode by clicking the blue icon of the AMP Validator extension.
- Browse your website in AMP mode and see whether the page is valid or not. If the page is not valid, the extension icon turns red, otherwise, it remains green.
Important Information:
Sometimes, the AMP Validator extension cannot access your website – it can be blocked by CDN or HTTP authentication. In this case, you should use validators and manually provide the HTML content of your AMP pages. Check how to use these validators in the next sections.
