Performance Tracking – AMP comparisons

• ocdtrekkie 8y ago
  I think it's been well-discussed that in general, AMP is actually slower, or at least not a performance gain, but is solely built around allowing Google to background download if you're coming from Google Search. These numbers seem to largely reflect that, since I assume they were not tested against a search results page.

    That is NOT true. AMP is a lot faster in most cases. "Why AMP is fast" https://medium.com/@cramforce/why-amp-is-fast-7d2ff1f48597 https://medium.com/@cramforce/why-amp-is-fast-7d2ff1f48597 But why the half truth? Can you share the back story?

      You've been over-posting about Google for a long long time, and we've gotten complaints about it. When something becomes predictable it ceases to be interesting, and single-purpose accounts are not allowed on HN for this reason. So would you please roll this back? That means (a) way fewer Google comments and (b) posting out of intellectual curiosity, not a predefined agenda. That usually means a diversity of interests.

        Can I reply to posts by "ocdtrekkie" that are not true about Google? I mean basically every post he shares is something negative about Google and in best case is a half truth. I would just like to see things be accurate. I am an engineer by background and maybe a bit OCD on things being factual. Also is it allowed to have every post go after one company?
