Issue: AMP page itself is blocked by robots.txt
Impact: AMP page cannot be crawled or served

What Is This Issue?
Blocking AMP pages in robots.txt prevents them from being crawled. They cannot be served to mobile users if not crawlable.
Why This Matters for Your Website
AMP pages must be crawlable to be served. Blocking defeats the purpose of having AMP.
How to Fix This Issue
- Unblock AMP: Allow crawling of AMP URLs
- Check rules: May be unintentionally blocked by pattern
Tools for Detection
- Robots.txt tester: Test AMP URL accessibility
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Your AMP pages are blocked by robots.txt. Unblock them so they can be crawled and served.
