Issue: AMP page canonical returns 403 Forbidden
Impact: AMP relationship broken, canonical inaccessible

What Is This Issue?
If the canonical URL returns 403, Google cannot access it to establish the AMP relationship. This breaks AMP functionality.
Why This Matters for Your Website
403 errors indicate access problems that affect both AMP and normal indexing.
How to Fix This Issue
- Fix permissions: Make canonical accessible
- Check server config: May be blocking bots
Tools for Detection
- HTTP status checker: Verify canonical accessibility
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your AMP page points to a canonical that returns 403 Forbidden. Fix the access permissions on that page.
