What are AMP Results (SERP Feature)?
AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) results indicate that a page is built using the AMP framework, designed to provide faster load times for mobile users. AMP pages are cached and served by Google to ensure optimal performance, resulting in a snappier browsing experience. Despite being hosted on Google domains, the original source site is credited and reported.
Types of AMP Results
In Ranktracker, AMP results can be categorized into three sub-types: news, recipes, and organic. The parent AMP result type encompasses all three sub-types.
1. AMP (News)
These are news results built with the AMP framework. They provide quick access to news content with enhanced load speeds, improving user experience for mobile news readers.
2. AMP (Organic)
These are standard organic search results that utilize the AMP framework. They ensure faster load times for various types of content beyond news and recipes, offering a seamless user experience.
3. AMP (Recipes)
These are recipe results built with the AMP framework. They ensure quick access to recipe content, providing a smoother experience for users looking for cooking instructions or meal ideas.
