It seems you have chosen a bit of an edge case. Agreed the videos shouldn't pre-load, but to take a more standard example of a simple article: AMP: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/brWXpA/http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan/20/ftse-100-heads-closer-to-bear-market-amid-sharp-global-falls/amp http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/brWXpA/http://www.theguardia...

Looking at the source - the videos aren't set to pre-load? And don't a lot of these sources only start loading once the page has finished rendering? AMP is supposed to be fast-to-render firstmost, right?

  It should "be optimized for mobile". 4MB per page is anything but. If you visit 100 pages per day, you'd need a 12GB data plan.

    That assumes that you clear your browser cache after you view every page, or that you visit 100 separate sites every day that each weigh 4MB.

      Every page weighs 4+MB, because the page-specific content on the page weighs more than 4MB. There's almost 1MB of "CSS + JS + HTML", but about 4MB of video.
