Google Search Console Testing Tools To Align With URL Inspection Tool

Have you heard about latest news on Aligning Testing Tools with URL Inspection Tool?

The Google search console’s 3 public standalone tools specifically for AMP, Mobile Friendly, and Rich Results are now aligned with the URL Inspection tool in Search Console, to help them detect and fix errors in web pages.

The main objective was to solve inconsistencies between each of these tools, so Google decided to align them in terms of design and features.

Google Team has updated the designs and features for the AMP, Mobile Friendly, and Rich Results standalone testing tools so that they can be fully aligned with the URL Inspection tool.

Now, all the previous features are standardized and new features from the URL Inspection Tool that you are familiar with are being added to the 3 tools that didn’t have them yet.

Specifically, from now on the following fields will be reported both on public testing and URL inspection tools.

Page availability - Whether Google was able to crawl the page, when it was crawled, or any obstacles that it encountered when crawling the URL.
HTTP headers - The HTTP header response returned from the inspected URL.
Page screenshot - The rendered page as seen by Google.
Paired AMP inspection, Inspect both canonical and AMP URL.

In addition to the above mentioned updates , the Rich Results tool is now able to produce a screenshot of the mobile and desktop versions of a particular page.
