About this Plugin
Page Experience (PX) is a set of ranking signals—including Core Web Vitals (CWV)—measuring the user experience of interacting with a web page. AMP is a powerful tool which applies many optimizations and best practices automatically on your site, making it easier for you to achieve good page experience for your visitors. The official AMP Plugin, supported by the AMP team, makes it easy to bring the power of AMP to your WordPress site, seamlessly integrating with the normal publishing flow and allowing the use of existing themes and plugins.
Static WordPress Challenge
AMP-generated pages and markup should export as static HTML, while admin validation, REST, and AJAX tools require the WordPress origin and will not function on a static-only deployment. Verify paired AMP URLs and frontend sanitization after export; logged-in-only validation or development-mode behavior will not be available to static visitors.
