Content requirements

Yandex.Webmaster checks Turbo pages for compliance with the following requirements:

1. A Turbo page can't contain validation errors or HTML elements that aren't supported by Turbo pages.
You validate your RSS feed with the Debug tool.
2. A Turbo page must include all content that is on the original page
For example, if the original page contains headings, lists, images, or embedded social content, they should be included in exactly the same way on the Turbo page. Duplication or omission of a part of the main content is not permitted.
3. A Turbo page must fully repeat the structure of the original page.
For example, if the original page text is divided into paragraphs, they must be formatted exactly the same way on the Turbo page.
