¿Quieres establecer Google AMP en tu sitio de WordPress?
AMP significa Accelerated Mobile Pages (Páginas Móviles Aceleradas) y es una forma de hacer que su sitio web se cargue más rápido en dispositivos móviles. Los sitios web de carga rápida ofrecen una mejor experiencia de usuario y pueden mejorar el tráfico.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo establecer Google AMP en WordPress.
¿Qué es Google AMP?
Google AMP son las siglas de Accelerated Mobile Pages. Es una iniciativa de código abierto compatible con / dar soporte a empresas tecnológicas como Google y Twitter. El objetivo del proyecto es hacer que el contenido web se cargue más rápido para los usuarios móviles.
Para muchos usuarios móviles, la lectura en la web suele ser lenta. La mayoría de las páginas ricas en contenido tardan varios segundos en cargarse, a pesar de los esfuerzos de los propietarios por acelerar sus sitios web.
Google AMP utiliza HTML mínimo y Javascript limitado. Esto permite que el contenido se aloje en la caché de Google AMP. Google puede entonces servir esta versión en caché a los usuarios de forma instantánea cuando hacen clic en tu enlace en los resultados de búsqueda.
Es muy similar a Facebook Instant Articles. Sin embargo, los Instant Articles se limitan solo a la plataforma de Facebook, más concretamente a su aplicación móvil.
Google AMP es independiente de la plataforma y puede ser utilizado por cualquier aplicación, navegador o visor web. Actualmente lo utilizan Google, Twitter, LinkedIn y Reddit, entre otros.
Ventajas e inconvenientes de Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages)
Los expertos en SEO afirman que Google AMP ayudará a su sitio web de WordPress a posicionarse mejor en Google y mejorará la experiencia de usuario para los usuarios móviles con conexiones a Internet lentas. Sin embargo, existen varios retos para los propietarios de sitios web, blogueros y profesionales del marketing.
AMP utiliza un conjunto limitado de HTML, JavaScript y CSS. Esto significa que no puedes añadir ciertos widgets y características a tu sitio web AMP móvil. Esto limita la posibilidad de añadir formularios inteligentes de suscripción por correo electrónico, botones “Me gusta” de Facebook y otros scripts dinámicos.
Aunque Google AMP es compatible con Google Analytics, al principio no lo era con muchas otras plataformas de análisis, pero esto ha mejorado. Las opciones de publicidad también se limitan a unas pocas plataformas.
A pesar de sus limitaciones, Google está impulsando las páginas AMP dándoles un empujón en las búsquedas móviles. Si una parte significativa de tu tráfico proviene de búsquedas móviles, entonces puedes beneficiarte de añadir compatibilidad con AMP para mejorar y mantener tu SEO.
Sin embargo, ha habido algunas quejas acerca de Google AMP por parte de los bloggers.
En primer lugar, Alex Kras afirma que puedes perder potencialmente tráfico móvil si activas Google AMP. Lee bien el artículo porque es un gran problema. Y a pesar de lo que el Tech Lead de Google para el proyecto AMP ha dicho, no hay buenas soluciones que aborden el problema, en nuestra opinión.
En segundo lugar, Terrence Eden destaca las dificultades de volver a Google AMP si cambias de opinión en el futuro. No creemos que esto sea un problema / conflicto / incidencia importante, ya que se puede hacer una redirección 301, que varios han señalado en la sección de comentarios de sus entradas en el blog. No obstante, es algo en lo que debes pensar.
Por las razones anteriores, no vamos a cambiar WPBeginner a Google AMP.
Sin embargo, dado que varios de nuestros lectores nos han preguntado acerca de cómo establecer Google AMP en WordPress, hemos creado un proceso paso a paso sobre cómo establecer Accelerated Mobile Pages en WordPress.

Establecer páginas móviles aceleradas o AMP en WordPress
Lo primero que tienes que hacer es instalar y activar el plugin AMP. Para más detalles, consulta nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, puedes dirigirte a la página Apariencia ” AMP para ver cómo se ve tu sitio en dispositivos móviles utilizando AMP.
Puede cambiar el fondo de la cabecera y el color del texto en esta página. El color de fondo de la cabecera que elija también se utilizará para enlazar.
El plugin también utilizará el icono o logo de tu sitio si tu tema es compatible con él. Consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo añadir un favicon o icono de sitio en WordPress para obtener instrucciones detalladas.
No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar” para almacenar los cambios.
Ahora puedes personalizar tus páginas AMP utilizando plugins. Por ejemplo, puedes añadir entradas relacionadas, widgets de pie de página e incluso iconos de medios sociales a tus páginas AMP.
Sin embargo, tendrás que validar tus páginas AMP después de instalar cualquier plugin de extensión.
Ahora puede visitar cualquier entrada de su sitio web y añadir /amp/ al final de la URL de la siguiente manera:
http://example.com/2016/10/my-blog-post/amp/
Esto le mostrará una versión AMP reducida de la misma entrada.
Si consulta el código fuente de la entrada original, encontrará esta línea en el HTML:
<link rel="amphtml" href="http://example.com/2016/10/my-blog-post/amp/" />
Esta línea indica a los motores de búsqueda y a otras aplicaciones y servicios que consumen AMP dónde buscar la versión AMP de la página.
Diagnosticar problemas
Si aparece un error 404 al intentar ver la versión ampliada, esto es lo que debe hacer.
Visite la página Ajustes ” Enlaces permanentes en el administrador de WordPress y haga clic en el botón “Guardar cambios”.
Recuerda, no cambies nada aquí. Sólo tienes que pulsar el botón “Guardar cambios”. Esto actualizará la estructura de enlaces permanentes de su sitio web.
Visualización de las páginas móviles aceleradas en Google Search Console
¿Quieres saber cómo funcionan tus páginas móviles aceleradas en la Búsqueda de Google? Puedes comprobarlo fácilmente con Google Search Console.
Accede a tu Escritorio de Google Search Console y, a continuación, haz clic en Apariencia de búsqueda ” Páginas móviles aceleradas.
No te preocupes si no ves los resultados de AMP de inmediato. Google puede tardar un poco en indexar las páginas móviles aceleradas y mostrar los datos en Search Console.
Obtención de análisis precisos en páginas AMP
Uno de los principales problemas de AMP es que puede distorsionar los datos de Google Analytics. No se realiza un seguimiento preciso de los visitantes de las páginas AMP, que pueden incluso duplicarse.
Para las analíticas más precisas, recomendamos usar MonsterInsights. Es el mejor plugin de Google Analytics para WordPress.
La extensión MonsterInsights AMP corregirá automáticamente su seguimiento para que pueda obtener las estadísticas reales de sus visitantes.

tfk, the5krunner says
the AMP pluigin disables JS scripts.
therefore things like
1. WordPress outbound click stats are disabled
and
2. Google adwords conversion tracking is disabled.
so think carefully before using it
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for sharing these concerns!

ToTemat says
I tested AMP on the website for over 6 months. My conclusions are like this. The website worked faster on a mobile basis, but it had no effect on its position. Additionally, plug-in conflicts appeared from time to time. Also, fewer people on AMP pages accessed subsequent pages of the website. That’s why I believe responsive pages are better and more relevant than using AMP. I turned off AMP completely by myself some time ago.
WPBeginner Support says
Thank you for sharing your experience with AMP!

As i can see why ‘wpbeginner’ didnt take the step to use AMP on they site, look at all the comments, i think that is why.
Still got error and bugs to clear, unfortunately i was trying to find solutions for using AMP but after all the comments here, i’ll take back my step … It’s not worth yet but for the Accelearating pages let just use cached plugins for now.
Until all quite good and no more trouble using AMP i will rewrite my step but for now, lets just stay low.
Thank you WP Beginner for the articles, it helps.
WPBeginner Support says
You’re welcome, we also mention the reasons we did not add amp at the start of our article as well

Now Google AMP showing image size error.
Image size is smaller than recommended size. Images should be at least 1200 pixels wide.
That huge. What’s wrong with Google AMP?
WPBeginner Support says
It is a change for Google’s top stories carousel for why that size is now being requested. The AMP plugin is saying that it is receiving that error from Google and letting you know.

AMP uses limited HTML, CSS, and Javascript. You would want to reach out to your theme to see if there is something that can be done to make the theme more AMP friendly.

I already activated AMP for one of my site and it is performing well but here you did not recommend it.
Well said, on my next site I will just leave it without implementing AMP and test the two.
Thanks from Nigeria
Fred Sessoms says
I see more pitfalls than gains in implementing AMP – particularly with a plugin. For now, I’ll follow your advice and, “not switch to Google AMP, just yet.”

How do I add Adsense on my AMP page
Amin says
Hi, Thank you indeed for your helpful post. I have two points:
1- Have you used the AMP yet or not? How can I be notify if you are going to use it in the future?
2-In w3 total cache, there is an addon for AMP, is that ok?
For me I will not install the plugin as you recommended.
I think you can get the best ranking when you have great content, seo, good speed which can be implemented without apm.
Thanks indeed

Hello. I have been using the AMP plugin by Automattic without any issues for the past 6 months. However we started getting AMP errors in search console that said Prohibited or invalid use of HTML Tag on 12 pages including this one
Has anyone noticed this?
Posted on the plugin page as well but did not get a reply.
I hope the bug gets resolved fast as the pages have been removed from search results and have led to a loss of traffic.
Bryan Veloso says
Use the AMPforWP plugin, it’s wayyy better than the AMP plugin by Automattic

AMP can not install in my wordpress

Yeah I’ve been having the same issue for months. No matter what I enter in the Analytics box, it won’t save.
Dishu Thakur says
I used this plugin but i got one problem. This plugin added amp page for my home page when i tried to open that link then it will redirect it in blog amp page . How can i change it?
David says
I am getting this same effect. when I go to my domain.com/amp/ It does not show home home page, but it shows blog post page. How can we change it to where it shows home page?
Rhett says
Under the AMP Plugin. Go: AMP/Getting Started/Homepage then enable AMP Frontpage –> custom amp front page. Then, just below that you will select your homepage from the drop down menu.
It should all (finally) show up on the AMP version if your homepage/front page.
I hope that helps!

Hie Guys,
Very informative post and WordPress is among the early supporters of Google AMP Project. Google AMP plugin for WordPress is quite useful for making the mobile web faster i.e. 4 times faster, which will be a crucial factor for enhancing user experience.
Also, Baidu – the Chinese search engine is now supporting Google AMP project and will consider AMP sites in SERP result as Google has made it a norm for getting higher ranking on search result. Very soon others will be following the same trend and we will be witnessing Google’s footsteps.
Thanks,
Nick

Great Article. Does anyone knows hoe to trigger AMP automatically when user is viewing our website on mobile device. I mean for viewing AMP pages I dont want to manually go and type /amp at the end of URL. Is there a way?
Eslam Tolba says
As far as I understand, typing /amp at the end of the URL is only for testing, but the plugin already creates the AMP version of the posts and add the related HTML tag to the source code and then google will index those AMP posts and show them to mobile users
Michael says

AMP is not installing in my wordpress .
Whenever I trying to install it says “Installation failed : Destination folder already exist ”
Now what I have to do ??
WPBeginner Support says
Hey Raj,
It looks like your previous attempt to install the plugin was interrupted. You need to connect to your website using FTP and then go to wp-content/plugins/ folder. Locate the AMP plugin folder and delete it.

I WANT to switch to AMP but since many of my posts have recipes, tables and image grids none of these show up on AMP pages.
I’d like to do AMP pages like the New York Times does, basically there is a long excerpt with a link to continue reading the story that takes you to the non-AMP page.
Any recommendation on how to find a plug-in or how to tweak the WordPress AMP plug-in to do this?
Thanks,

Nice post,
is anyone has tried AMP ? and is make difference in google ranking ? please tell me ?

Yes , it helps to improve the ranking.
Dave Bergschneider says
The correct way to implement AMP is to do it as apart of your theme. The AMP plugin is merely a band-aid to bridge the gap from an existing theme. AMP is so new that there’s very little examples of how to include it as your WordPress theme. I’d be interested in knowing if anyone has taken it this far yet. I’ve done some AMP development already and I find it to not be all the difficult.
Adjie Purbojati says
I have trying AMP for a 5 months. And the result is amp not recommend for my site. Because amp make appearance broken. And yes, amp WordPress doesn’t not give features that we need

How do we make it work for woocommerce? AMP plugin throws up very basic layout of a woocommerce site with the menu also losing all its style and formatting.

Does the AMP plugin still only work on Posts and not Pages? Has anyone found a solution that works on entire sites? Thx!
Ellen says
To make it work on pages, you can use the AMP for WP plugin (this plugin requires the AMP plugin).
Shaeel Iqbal says
Hey! Thanks for this AMP WordPress. I have a question in my mid. Can i have to edit my old posts URL and add /amp at the end?
WPBeginner Support says
No, the plugin will automatically add it and Google will automatically show the amp URL whenever it is available.
