H2: Test, Test, Test: Did I Mention Test?
Granny was right when she said, “never assume!” Once you’re done with the AMP plugin setup and configuration, it’s time to test your pages. You can use the AMP Test tool by Google, url is… oops! I promised no links. Well, just google “AMP Test”, it will be the first result, can’t miss it!
