AMP Crawl Issues

Hi,

I received multiple crawl issues for my WordPress site for AMP pages.

On using Inspect URL I get the following message – Failed: Crawl anomaly in Page fetch. For a few, it passed and for some, it passed with Image Size Smaller than recommended size warning.

Screenshots:

I suspect that is because of the plugin issue because there are no errors at the server end and also everything is fine with the canonical version of the page.

Sample affected URL – https://www.techuntold.com/best-beard-apps-android-iphone/amp/
Canonical Version – https://www.techuntold.com/best-beard-apps-android-iphone/

We are using the latest version – Version 0.9.97.27

Please provide a resolution soon. This is urgent as URLs have been dropped out of the index and due that the traffic has dropped.

Thanks a lot!

This appears to be a problem caused by google since a lot of sites are affected.

Thanks — the team here is looking into this.

As others have said, I have received multiple crawl issues for my WordPress site for AMP pages.

I get the message – Failed: Crawl anomaly in Page fetch. The number of dropped-out pages keeps increasing each day. I have checked on my end that everything is fine.

Please resolve this issue ASAP. Since the last update a week ago, I started experiencing this crawl issue errors. So it may be something to do with the plugin. Traffic keeps dropping, and half the number of pages have been dropped from index. By tomorrow most of the pages would have been de-indexed.

Please give this issue a priority. It gives me headache.

Thanks in advance.
