Quick Reference
Element Code: AM-001
Issue: AMP page canonical points to a page that itself canonicalizes elsewhere
Impact: Broken AMP relationship, AMP may not be served
Fix: Point AMP canonical to the final canonical page
Detection: Screaming Frog, AMP validator
What Is This Issue?
AMP pages must canonical to their non-AMP equivalent. If that page canonicalizes elsewhere, the chain is broken and AMP will not function correctly.
Why This Matters for Your Website
Google uses the AMP-to-canonical relationship for serving AMP pages. A broken chain means AMP is not associated with your content.
How to Fix This Issue
- Find final canonical: Trace the canonical chain
- Update AMP canonical: Point directly to final version
- Verify relationship: Non-AMP should link back to AMP
Tools for Detection
- AMP Validator: Checks AMP configuration
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your AMP page canonicals to a page that canonicals elsewhere. Update to point directly to the final canonical page.
