There are no specific steps required to make an AMP page other than copying and pasting Google’s AMP HTML template onto your website. However, there are some settings that you will need to configure in order to make sure that your content is optimized for display on mobile devices using Google’s AMP platform. To do this, open your website’s Settings page (by clicking on either the gear icon near the top right corner of your browser window or going to www.google.com/amp/settings/) and scroll down until you see an option called “PageSpeed Insights.
” Underneath this setting, find an option called “Enable Mobile First Indexing.” Make sure that this setting is enabled and that it is set to index all pages of your website instead of just pages with an amp tag (AMP pages will have a amp tag at the beginning of their URL). Finally, make sure that both JavaScript and CSS files are included as part of your website’s load time by adding them as inline assets within .article elements (just like any other assets would be included). You’re now ready to start optimizing your content for mobile devices using AMP! Conclusion Once you’ve installed Google’s AMP Standalone extension in either Chrome or Firefox browsers and copied and pasted Google’s AMP HTML template onto your website, all that remains is optimizing content for mobile devices using PageSpeed Insights settings and including inline assets within .article elements for quick loading times. By following these simple steps, making an AMP page for your blog should be easy enough for even beginners!.
