The first point in the article is the dead killer of AMP for me. My mobile provider gives me very little monthly data, I've stopped using AMP because preloading the AMP results is eating through my cap, with images disabled.
Without preloading, AMP is slower than the non-AMP version of the same webpage with a simple script blocker. And usually causing more traffic too.
I hope Google refrains from bullying website owners into making the internet a worse experience for people without 1GB+ data plan.
- ep103 9y agohow do you disable it?
- tscs37 9y agoI tap "Request Desktop Page" when I use google search and I mostly rely on search engines that don't pull the AMP crap at all.
- niutech 9y agoNo. AMP is much faster even without preloading. Here is an example of a random article on CNN: https://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?id=180402_4583919a10f9cadcd56a6aacb67e6033c904cd34&data=1 https://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?id=180402_4583919...
- tscs37 9y agoThis is not my experience. AMP is consistently slower than normal desktop pages or mobile pages when offered. I've measured this myself on my own phone countless times. CNN is also probably one of the worst offenders, so the example is rather cherry picked nor does it represent my usual browsing in any way.
