AMPXF - AMP for Xenforo 2 [Paid] 1.4.9

[Anatoliy]

Therefore, because people like me are not full programmers, we need AMP and thus get ads including:

No one said there is no need in AMP.

At the same time, the charts you just posted say that amp replaced regular pages but it didn't bring you extra traffic.
I have the same results.

I turned off adsense on amp pages. Will wait a week to see if G will like them better.

On the other hand, only the start page without ads and without AMP:


Mobile:

That is not right.
Since we started using AMP, our clicks have increased from ~8k to ~12k.

In all honesty I think that is too short time to tell if it works or not..
Also (please put your tinfoil hats on) Google might actually prefer to send visitors to pages serving ads through their own networks, why wouldn't they? (you may now take your tinfoil hats off )

I think we all need to agree that it works better for some than for others

Arguing back and forth about these things makes little sense. And if you really feel that you need to continue I would suggest you do it in a PM so we can focus on the AMPXF addon in this thread

Agree on with "too short". Agree on "might prefer". Not agree with taking a tinfoil hat off, it would be too risky in this dangerous world.

Did some testing, with and without (Google) ads.

Mobile without ads:


Desktop without ads:



And now with ads, lets start with desktop:


That's pretty good...but wait untill you see mobile:




For reference, the AMP variant:

It's a shame that google ads impact the scores that Google measures...

Looks like you might need to set the style property for AMP header background color (search for ampHeader in ACP)

It would be impossible to list all the addons the AMP is not compatible with.

This seems like it would be a pretty big issue. My Xenporta 2 Home Page looks like someone tossed a grenade in the room - it is a total mess and I can't have anyone landing on that as their first site view.

You can check the box "Disable AMP for Forum/Node pages" and use amp for threads pages only.

Thanks - I will give that a try. I appreciate it.

 

[Ozzy47]

Nope, I think presales questions should be asked.

Two way street wouldn't you say? As a purchaser of many of your add-ons, it's appreciated when known conflicts/issues are identifed. But again, I'll take it offline.

Since our landing/homepage is not a forum page, but a Xenporta page, this did not fix the issue. Good thought.

as a quick fix, you can probably set 301 redirect yourdomain.com/?amp=1 to yourdomain.com

AMPXF does have amazing support - lightning fast and very helpful.

It actually helps, as it will remove the "meta tag" that links to the AMP page, so googlebot won't find the messy AMP page
(you can still see the page if you manually visit it, but no new visitors will be sent there at least)
