In theory, AMP pages should all load instantly, and most news websites have AMP pages.
A lot of HNers hate AMP for other reasons, though; I think mostly Google's insistence on using their CDN for it, and for whitelisting mostly their own scripts for use in AMP.
- majewsky 8y ago> In theory, AMP pages should all load instantly In practice, AMP pages take a minimum of 5-10 seconds to load for me. Maybe Google is punishing me for my uBlock/uMatrix/Pi-Hole setup.
- icebraining 8y agoAMP loads "instantly" because Chrome preloads it, not because they're very fast. A simple page like [1] loads over a dozen JS files (including stuff like "amp-analytics"), which expand to over 1MB of code that has to be parsed.

- Zarel 8y agoFair, but keep in mind that AMP loads scripts async, so the page is finished loading and usable well before stuff like amp-analytics is done being downloaded.
