Quick Reference
Element Code: AM-002
Issue: AMP page canonical points to noindex page
Impact: AMP cannot be served for non-indexed content
Fix: Point AMP to indexable page or remove noindex
Detection: Screaming Frog, AMP validator
What Is This Issue?
AMP pages serving as the mobile version of noindex content creates a conflict. If the canonical is not indexed, the AMP relationship serves no purpose.
Why This Matters for Your Website
AMP is designed to serve indexed content faster. If the canonical is noindex, AMP has no indexed page to represent.
How to Fix This Issue
- Make canonical indexable: Remove noindex if content should rank
- Or remove AMP: If page should not be indexed
Tools for Detection
- Screaming Frog: Cross-references AMP with indexability
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your AMP page points to a noindex page. Either make that page indexable or remove the AMP version.
