I believe that Google has good intentions behind pushing AMP. They want websites to load faster. Everyone wants that. I especially hate those bloated news websites. But AMP is a wrong solution for the problem. If Google wants to make web pages faster, it can more heavily penalise slow and heavy pages in search.
I used to host my website using WordPress with a lot of plugins. It was incredibly slow and unreliable. Eventually I decided to replace it with my own custom solution developed from scratch. We had blog, forum and payments on the website. It took just a couple of months of evenings and weekend work to complete the project. I'm very happy with the result [1]. It works 10x to 100x faster and it's much more flexible. My point is that people shouldn't be afraid of replacing their existing bloated system with something new and better. I was afraid that it would be impossible to replicate WordPress and plugins functionality that I needed, or it would take too much time and effort, but I was wrong. I'm glad I made the move.

- severine 8y agoI visited your site, I have no use for GPS trackers but I can say that the responsiveness and design are remarkable, good job!
- davewasthere 8y agoYep. Your website is lovely. Under 200K for everything, looks nice, responsive and delivered very quickly. Nicely done!

- tananaev 8y agoNot everyone needs to integrate forum and payment system. A simple static website or a blog can be done in much less time.
