How to use or setup a google AMP cache for my amp website. I have seen many site manages their request from google.com server . How it is possible for me?
To make Google serve your pages as AMP-page, the page must be re-written / modified to make it fit the AMP requirements.
AMP-pages are stripped down versions of web pages, with some restrictions compared to ordinary websites. The HTML markup is slightly different, i.e. and there are other restrictions such as CSS limited to 100kb. Those sites are separately hosted and as soon as Google crawled it, it might be included in the AMP mobile search results.
See AMP documentation for the details on how to implement it.

Is there any way how to force loading main homepage (index.html) to load from AMP Cache?
I have all images loaded from Cache according to manual: https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/overview
But in DevTools audit there is still an error for the homepage (not being served through http/2 - from the cache)
I’m not sure exactly what you mean but think you may be misunderstanding the point of the AMP cache.
The Google AMP Cache is not like a CDN (Content Delivery Network) that always sits in front of your site, though in certain instances it acts like one.
The Google AMP Cache is automatically populated by Google when it crawls your site. Any searches on Google while on mobile will then serve your AMP pages, rather than your normal pages, and will also serve them from the Google AMP cache rather than from your domain. This is done for a number of reasons, but primarily to create the “instant loading” effect that AMP gives when loaded from Google Search results (aka Search Engine Results Page or SERP). In this case the whole page including the index page is served from the Google AMP Cache.
Other sites and domains can also decide to display AMP pages instead of your HTML pages if they want, and can decide to serve them from the Google AMP cache, from their own AMP cache (though, other than Google, only Cloudflare have implemented their own AMP Cache AFAIK) or directly from your home page (in which case there is no cache used). Twitter for example automatically replaces links with their AMP equivalents but loads from the real domain so is fast (due to AMP) but not “instant” (like it is in the Google Search Results).
So you, as a site owner, don’t decide when to use the AMP Cache - the calling application (e.g. Google SERPS, Twitter) decides that. And if the calling app/page doesn’t use an AMP Cache, then it is served directly from your domain and therefore whatever technology your domain supports (e.g. HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2). You can of course give out the AMP Cache URL instead of your real one if you want.
You seem to suggest you have altered your page to replace all images and the like with references to the AMP cache - is that so? If so that sounds like a bad idea, as the cache is loaded from your site which now depends on the cache, which is loaded from your site, which is... etc.
I'm using this extension for creating AMP pages for our Magento e-commerce website.
In that extension, they create different pages for AMP (home page, category page, product page). We felt it is an extra work.
is this possible to convert the current page to AMP? (without any modification)
I don't think it's possible without having any modification unless you use some third party apps. You may check this Convert HTML to AMP tutorial. Be noted that it is strongly recommended that you use HTTPS in production environments. HTTPS has several benefits beyond just security including SEO. You can read more about this topic in this Google Webmaster blog post. Also, from this page, if you use WordPress, all you have to do is download the official AMP WordPress plugin.
I have recently been reading up on the AMP-CACHE and although the URL will change in Q1 2017 the question I'm trying to understand is how to optimize the experience for a mobile user.
If you start with the view that AMP pages are the best way to show mobile users your content then if they find an AMP version of a page via Google shouldn't links take them to the AMP version of the site.
And in that case should that be the google AMP Cache version?
OR the underlying amp version that the site created.
In our case we have created an AMP version of our site
http://amp.sportsmole.co.uk
You can obviously look at and link to pages on that but the implication of some of the documentation is that using the AMP cache version is even better?
Is it and how should one do that?
When I started looking at AMP pages I wondered about this but ignored it up until now. However, the more I read about the goal of the AMP Cache the more I wonder how to take advantage of it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to use the AMP cache to make sure that the users get the fastest experience.
You may probably want to check the Cache optimizations and modifications from Google documentation:
The Google AMP Cache performs optimizations and modifications, such as the following:
Validates content is truly in AMP format, meeting all AMP performance goals.
Caches images and fonts in addition to AMP documents.
Limits maximum image dimensions to prevent browser memory issues and poor responsiveness.
Various transformations to improve the delivery efficiency of images via the amp-img tag, such as:
Removal of data that is invisible or difficult to see, such as certain metadata.
Conversion of images to smaller and mobile-friendlier image formats, such as converting GIF, PNG, and JPEG format images to WebP in browsers that support WebP.
Transformation of the image to a lower quality if the request includes the Save-Data header.
Generation of alternatively sized versions and adding srcset attributes to support delivery of responsively sized images.
Serves over a secure channel (HTTPS) and uses the latest web protocols (SPDY, HTTP/2).
Sanitizes AMP documents to prevent XSS attacks based on incorrectly closed HTML tags, comments, and more.
In making the above transformations, the Google AMP Cache disregards the “Cache-Control: no-transform” header.
I have developed a website using angularjs and web api.
The problem is that the ajax rendered content is not crawable by google. And no one can find the website using google search.
After reading many articles regarding this issue, including:
This one with all links of explanation going out,
Google ajax crawling protocol, and also stack over flow question, I couldn't find the proper solution. Those that mention asp.net solutions, are talking about mvc, and I need only the simple REST by web api, other articles are not talking about asp.net.
Is there any simple explanation?
I'm the one who asked this same question long ago, so I will answer from my experience:
Firstly, if all your content are accessible via unique URIs (including the hashbang if you use it), modern search engines should index it just fine. In fact Google can index javascript generated content now. You can try that via the Google Webmaster tool and see how your site is indexed.
Secondly, there are libraries that help you to serve parsed content to search engines if you need to, but in my case I didn't bother much with it since Google is indexing js nicely.
I've seen others ask this question, and maybe I'm missing something or this is outdated, but I don't see why AngularJS needs to be an issue with SEO.
Say you have a landing page and it has a bunch of links. Assuming you're using html5 mode in AngularJS (and I'm not sure that's 100% necessary) and something like ng-route then the links on the landing page can work both as "angular" (JavaScript) links and "old school" (full page load) links.
If you're a human user you can click a link and it will do angular magic and adjust the content without loading the full page. Ok, all fine.
But if you instead copy the link and paste it in a new tab or new browser, it will still work - assuming you've set up routes correctly.
I'm not an SEO expert by any stretch of the imagination, but as I understand it, having links that load pages and having those pages have real and useful content is the core of SEO, and done this way, AngularJS should work fine. The key thing to check is if you copy and paste the link (not just click it) that it works.
I am interesting in Google AdSense bot's algorithm and behavior with web site. I did not work with AdSense and i do not have account. So i need your help to understand:
1) Gbot from time to time downloads all pages from web site. Am i right?
2) Gbot do not understand dynamic content (loaded by ajax). So i must generate static content and return it within html page and this pages must show identical content for all users and for Gbot?
3) Because of (1) and (2) i cannot use only root path http://example.com with some "main" widget. I must generate unique pages for example http://example.com/thread?id=101 ?
4) Gbot downloads pages (1) for grabbing (indexing) keywords from them and then store (on it's servers) these information for example by key/value (where key is page path, value is tag cloud). Am i right?
5) When web site has been opened in browser by user. Integrated html AdSense's code loads some JavaScript. As i understand by "googling" this JavaScript do not index page, but makes call (with some parameter key==page_path) to Google's server and gets appropriate ad links. Then shows this ad links in it's frame. Is it right behavior? Maybe JavaScript makes some local indexing of page's content?
6) How Gbot and AdSense's JavaScript work with cookies? As i understand AdSense can use cookies for show appropriate ad links. If it is right, please give me some use cases;)
I know that "true" algorithm is known only by engineers from Google. But some of you had experience with AdSense and AdSense html/javascript. Please correct my vision of it;)
Thank you very much for any advice!!!
P.S. This question is very important for me. It is not some question for fun! So Please do not close it;)
1) Yes if Googlebot can access the pages and if it knows about the pages through a link, XMLSitemaps, Google +1, etc.
2) Googlebot will now make AJAX / XHR requests to understand AJAX content (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/11/get-post-and-safely-surfacing-more-of.html).
Yes, you should show the same content to Googlebot as you would Users, otherwise this would be consider cloaking, which is against their guidelines.
3) This question isn't clear. But basically it's preferable to have the URL change because Google will then know how to index the content separately. If you're using AJAX then you might want to consider permalinks like you suggested, or you can use HTML5 popstate.
4) Yes Google will index the words on the page. I'm not certain they store it as a key/value pair. I'm not even sure if they're still using Big Table (http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html) ... but it's likely they use Big Table or a similar system to store the inverted index.
5) The Adsense code is embedded Javascript ... for new webpages that Google hasn't seen before, it tries to deliver the most relevant ads based on the information it's found on the web about the site or possibly through anchor text of links pointing to that page. However, to get a more accurate understanding of the content of the page, Google will send an adsense specific bot to crawl your page ... sometimes you'll see it come very fast, even as soon as you load the page for the first time. It uses a different user agent than the traditional Googlebot ... you can find all the User Agents from Google here (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1061943)
6) Google's crawlers don't accept cookies and won't pass back cookies to your server. It has to do with the massively distributed nature of Google crawlers that makes maintain cookies or sessions extremely difficult.
