One of the main strengths of AMP is not only that it makes it easier to build high-performance user-sites, but that it does so in a way that is verifiable. AMP provides a validator specification, which can be implemented in different ways. AMP pages can be passed through such a validator to determine if they are indeed valid AMP pages. When a page is determined to be fully AMP compatible, we can be confident that AMP’s design principles will be present on the delivery of that page.
The AMP plugin provides a full integration of the AMP Validator Specification. It uses it at the core of its capabilities for identifying the occurrence of validation issues. Furthermore, the AMP plugin contextualizes issues precisely indicating the component of the site responsible for the occurrence of the offending markup. And it exposes validation information in different ways so that users (both developers and non-developers) have the mechanisms they need to understand the surfaced issues and deal with them.
Editor Integration #
When editing an AMP page in the Gutenberg editor, if a block which includes invalid AMP elements is added, the plugin detects it and reports it contextually to the user.
