Posted On : July 28th, 2020   By : Durga Prasad Kundu   To : Web Story

Today on Twitter, Google announced that their testing tools will recognize whether a website’s AMP document is a web story or not. Also, from now onwards, Google will use the term “Web Story” to identify this format in their Testing Tools and Performance Report.

Starting today, our testing tools will recognize if your AMP document is a Web Story. In our testing tools and Performance report we'll use the term Web Story to identify this format. Learn more at https://t.co/HUulPORh01 or test existing pages at https://t.co/Ei6gfMpjjk pic.twitter.com/ziYAggAcz7

Web stories are previously known as AMP stories. The web story format is free for all and part of the open web. Also, web stories are available for everyone to try on their websites.

You can also view the performance report for your web story in Google Search Console, as shared by Brodie Clark in his tweet.

Great one to be aware of for the Web Story aficionados. Noticed this earlier in the Discover Appearance tab in GSC: now referencing 'Web Story' instead of 'AMP Story'. The AMP Test is now also recognising the Web Story format: https://t.co/wUVH1Dek2t via @googlewmc pic.twitter.com/nytJAriwpR
