I have a WordPress-based website with the "AMP for WP" plugin installed. It seems to be configured properly so that AMP pages point to respective non-AMP pages with "rel canonical", but I noticed some AMP pages showed up in Google search results even on a desktop browser.

What could cause that and how to make sure AMP pages are shown in SERP only for mobile?

In the past, there have been several bugs related to AMP pages showing up in desktop searchers, that might be another one.

In addition to that, Google has been suffering in the last 5 months several bugs related to the indexation of new content. This is being a hard year for Google as they are changing a lot of things.

My guess is that is just a bug that will be fixed in the short term but it could also be a test to check how AMPs pages respond for certains searchers in desktop. Nothing official has been said about that in the past days.

  • Google is making everything under their control. A Good example is AMP.

  • Indeed. In addition to AMP we have PWA, Firebase, Google Cloud, Google CDN, booking in hotels and restaurants directly from the SERPs, etc.
