12. Iframes

Iframes can only be used in AMP pages if the content in the iframe is loaded over an HTTPS connection.

13. Live Update

(!! Temporarily disabled !!)
This WP AMP plugin uses the AMP Live List feature and checks every 16 seconds to see if a newer version exists on the server of the AMP site (for example, the Google Search server). If so, the user will be shown a hint button directly when reading the AMP page, informing the user that an update of the page is currently available. In this way, the user is actively informed of innovations, WITHOUT the user having to reload the AMP page! Thus, e.g. Live tickers or live blogs.

14. IVW Counter for the reach of your site / IVW SZM-Tag

If present, the Accelerated-Mobile-Pages (AMP) plugin recognizes the IVW offer identifier and IVW code from the IVW SZM tag of the website and adds these IVW settings to the AMP page! This will also add the IVW range of the AMP pages to their own online reach. In order for the IVW measurement to work correctly, the line “* .amp-cloud.de” (without quotation marks) must be added to the own locallist in the INFOnline account.

15. AMP Menu

If your Website uses the nav-Tag to render the navigation-bar the AMP Plugin will also generate a navigationbar for your AMP-Version, based on your nav-Tag-Section.

Is your website indexed at the Google-AMP-Cache?

The faster pageload of AMP is generated by saving the AMP-Site onto the Google-Servers, which Google will do at itself. How much time this will take is different by each website and is based on the Google-Algorithms. To check, if is your site actually in the Google-AMP-Cache, you can test it with the following free online-tool:

1. Note that the AMP plugin currently only supports AMP for posts, that means Pages, Archives, Categories, Tags, etc. will not work correctly.
2. The first time an AMP version is called, it may take a little longer to load because the AMP generator will take a little longer for the first version.
3. This AMP plugin orients itself to Schema.org tags, more at: AMP doesn′t work

Honestly, these plugins should be delisted from the WordPress repository. This plugin doesn’t work at all.

Nice plugin

Does this “?amp=1” have to be added manually? Not automatically inserted on mobile devices. In PageSpeed Insights, too, if not inserted, it does not detect the presence of amp.

Absolut super

Nutze es für einige Blog-Projekte und bin bisher sehr zufrieden.

Easy and nice

regexescapecom March 29, 2019

Taken a look around on some newspaper-pages and blog-pages whichs using amp-cloud. Can’t use it for our projekt because only newspapers and blogs are supported, but what i’ve seen seems nice to have. It seems to support DSGVO in EU, got a social-share-bar and is easy to use.

*11.03.2017 – AMP Feature: Improving User Experience (UX) of AMP Pages – So far, the AMP plugin had provided the AMP pages under the AMP Cloud.de domain. This has the particular advantage that the AMP plugin can also automatically provide all AMP pages under an HTTPS connection, even if the plugin user himself does not have an SSL certificate for his website. According to Google’s latest AMP recommendations, from a usability point of view, AMP pages should be better served under the actual domain’s own domain so that users are not irritated by a foreign domain. With the new version “easy AMP Version 1.4” the AMP plugin is now optimized and provides the AMP pages directly under the own domain for a better user experience. If you want to continue to provide your AMP pages automatically under HTTPS, you must now enable HTTPS for your website! The AMP plugin “easy AMP” will continue to support it automatically!

(&amp=1 – If a query string is used)

Version 1.0

With the first version of “easy AMP” Creating AMP versions in a WordPress blog is much easier. The WordPress pages no longer need to be customized individually. – Just install the AMP plugin, activate it and you’re done!
