AMP is much slower if you don't allow your browser to load JavaScript from 3rd party sources. It literally takes 8 seconds for my browser to display AMP pages. (Try it if you don't believe me.)
AMP is also slower than optimizing it yourself.
- kurthr 9y agoI dream of 8 seconds :^) Really, I regularly get broken links on an android phone from Google News. It's hilarious to watch it try and resolve, if the article is more than 15min old. A direct link to the article just works. New links work. I'm guessing it's something similar to what you describe...
- Shoothe 9y agoI also experienced White Screens of AMP Death where only the AMP header was visible, not the page content. For what it's worth the white screen loaded pretty fast :)
