My Ultimate solution on how to solve AMP issues
Now, I am giving these tips below based on Personal experience. So, if you have tried solutions by other blogs and have not yielded positive results or you do not just understand what to do. These tips are for you:
- Remove/uninstall any plugin that is not absolutely necessary for your site to function and satisfy your visitors. Save plugins I recommend for WordPress are Jetpack, Google site kit, Accelerated Mobile pages (AMP), SEO plugin, Classic editor, Contact form 7 etc.
- Ensure a Schema and structured data plugin is installed. It will help solve html tag issues.
- Ensure you deactivate any third-party ads insertion plugin (Advanced ads etc.).
- Using a cache plugin is safe. I recommend WP Fastest Cache.

Errors in Google AMP and how to fix AMP issues
Invalid URL for HTML attribute ‘href’ in tag ‘a’: how to repair
When you receive an error message such as Invalid URL for HTML attribute ‘href’ in tag ‘a,’ it simply means that a link on your website links to an inactive domain or creates a 404 error.
By clicking on it and testing the live version, you can correct this error. Your AMP page will be live-tested and rendered in HTML. The line on which the error occurs will be marked (highlighted).
If you don’t know how to read html codes, you can simply go to that page and test all of the links. Any link that creates a 404 error or a site doesn’t exist error should be corrected or removed.
How to fix AMP issues “The tag ‘*********.js script’ appears in the page many times.”
Make sure you don’t add a.js script to your AMP pages more than once. Otherwise, AMP will report an error.
How can I remedy an AMP content mismatch?
In AMP, content mismatch simply implies that a previously indexed page no longer has a key element indexed with it. It was a YouTube video I embedded in my case, and the video was removed.
Not only can embedding a removed video harm your site’s UX, but it will also cause AMP issues.
You can either remove or change the page element to remedy this problem. After that, notify Google that the AMP problem has been resolved.
In conclusion
I can assure you of better rankings on google and other search engines if you follow these tips diligently.
