We Have Valid AMP Add-on

[Anthony Parsons]

Nixfifty has been working on an AMP add-on, and after working through issues, then discovering problems caused by Pagespeed, we now all have access to a valid AMP add-on.

https://nixfifty.com/products/amp.8/

If you use page speed, then you will need your relevant web server disallow config, i.e. NGINX:

pagespeed Disallow "*?amp=1";

As page speed will inject invalid AMP attributes into your pages, thus defeating the purpose and intent of AMP.

See: https://www.mycombatptsd.com/threads/new-member-from-arizona.4317/?amp=1 which is running on a Pixel Exit Edge theme.

We have valid thread page AMP. WHOO!

Valid?
I found that https://nixfifty.com/threads/inline-moderation-in-ticket-queue.326/?amp=1 fails both https://search.google.com/search-console/amp and https://validator.ampproject.org/

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Yer... I tested his site and knew this. He has stated that his site is still running an older version. I understand though... if you sell it, you should use your latest build.

The latest build though, is valid, as demonstrated above. It is the 1.0.6 build producing valid AMP.

Curiosity and all, I installed and ran it on the pixel exit flat awesome + theme: Valid, being the theme NixFifty is running.

Apologies, I was running an older version and had also not whitelisted amp's js stuff in my defer js add-on. All dandy now.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

All dandy now.

YUP

Could you see an increased traffic from google or any other effects with using this add-on?

 

[Anthony Parsons]

You should see an increase in mobile traffic, however, I have only just worked out the kinks in getting it to produce valid AMP.... a couple of months time should tell.

@Brent W could answer this though, as a longer user of this with valid AMP.

 

[Brent W]

Our largest site has a lot of active amp users. All of our Analytics are better than before we installed AMP and continue to increase.



Google Webmasters is showing over 21k indexed amp pages right now.

It don't look very pretty, though.

So this basically removes all navigation functionality. I wonder if your bounce rate goes up much.

Navigation can be added at some point. Its still an early release. No difference in bounce rate. Remember, the people that are landing on these amp pages are either search engine referrals or something like Facebook referrals. The bounce rate on these referrals was already high anyways.

The advantage is now we have an extra CTA on the SERP that lets the mobile user know that our result when clicked will load instantly.

Styling issues are still be worked through right now.

Are you on a desktop? If so, shrink it to mobile size.

I think it looks nice. The only issue I see is post ratings are vertical with too much spacing.

Are you planning to support Bob's addons (xenaddons.com)?

That’s not the amp url. You need to append amp=1 to it. See this: https://search.google.com/test/amp?id=bGdEfsLfnNh6e-0b2Onkgw

can it auto ?
