Why do redirects go to my home page when I disable AMP pages on Google?

  • I recently disabled the AMP feature on a page that I want to redirect to the non-AMP URL. But, instead of going to the non-AMP version of the page, it now redirects to my main home page.

    The page was ranking well and I don't want to lose that. Did I do something wrong?

Answer:

You are probably looking at the AMP cache URL. If so, you don't need to do anything, it'll fix itself automatically. And the good news is, the AMP cache doesn't affect your rankings.

If you're in a hurry, you can use the update-cache request to update and remove content from the Google AMP Cache. But doing so requires the domain owner to sign the requests with an RSA key and to serve the matching public key from a standard URL on the origin domain.

So, unless you have the above mentioned keys, it'll be simpler to just wait for it to autocorrect.SEN article end
