- sparewalking 8y agoThe irony. The original site loads instantly without JS but the amp one takes longer to load and will not display anything (also without JS).

- bartread 8y agoThanks for posting that - the non-AMP original is significantly easier to read on my monitor due to its layout more suitable for larger screens.
- TekMol 8y agoAmp adds nothing to make a site faster. The opposite. It adds some mandatory libraries. It just imposes some restrictions on what a page can contain. So the version companies make to be included in amp might be smaller then their original version for that reason. We should downrank slow bloated sites directly instead. Then companies would have an incentive to make their sites fast from the start.
- AYBABTME 8y agoI'm on mobile on 2G and the AMP version loads instantly, whilst the non-AMP one takes forever to load a ton of assets. In the end it doesn't matter much, but I personally do appreciate when a page is lighter and loads quickly. For instance, HN loads pretty fast even on crap, lossy connections.
