In fact, he would like to see more such sites on the internet. He said:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t see an issue with using an AMP-only site \u2013 it\u2019s a great framework to make fast sites relatively easily. Since it\u2019s essentially HTML, it\u2019ll work the same as any other HTML page. It\u2019s awesome to see more AMP-only sites pop up, it can make things so much easier (for crawling, indexing, &amp; SEO in general) when you just have a single URL for each piece of content!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, is there any problem with AMP-only websites? Is there something that webmasters should watch out for when creating such websites?<\/p>\n<p>John Mueller told that it would be a good idea to watch out for JavaScript-based components within the framework. He said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe one thing you might want to watch out for is JavaScript-based components within the framework, to make sure that they work (=allow the content to be indexed) across the search engines that you\u2019re interested in. Google\u2019s pretty good at rendering, so at least there you\u2019d probably be fine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mueller also mentioned that website owners could easily check if Google is indexing the JavaScript-based components properly on websites that only use Accelerated Mobile Pages.<\/p>\n<p>To test that, just search for textual content within any \u201cfancier elements that you use\u201d. This will allow you to see if that context is indexed or not.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in creating AMP-only websites, you should check out the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/official-amp-for-wordpress-plugin-updated-allows-sites-to-be-built-entirely-with-amp\/282815\/\">official AMP for WordPress plugin<\/a><\/u>, which has recently received several excellent features after a recent update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it okay to have an AMP-only website?
