Google AMP for WordPress Tutorial Retired: Prioritize Current Page Experience

Editorial status: This old AMP setup tutorial is retired as current SEO advice. AMP decisions should be based on current site needs, analytics, technical constraints, and page-experience testing, not old search assumptions.

For most WordPress publishers, the safer starting point is a fast responsive theme, clean templates, image optimization, caching, and Core Web Vitals work. Google's current page-experience documentation emphasizes user experience and Core Web Vitals as part of broader search quality, not installing AMP as a shortcut.
