- saagarjha 8y agoFor me it was over a megabyte, could not scroll smoothly, and had a broken header once I started scrolling.
- privateSFacct 8y agoDo people not use the web, particularly media sites. PLEASE go browse a bunch of non-AMP media sites with adblocker off. 500kb is TINY by comparison to what is out there outside of AMP.
- saagarjha 8y agoOh, that was with an adblocker on. But aside from that, many of the websites I go to don't have AMP and load quickly. Hacker News is a pretty good example; I try to keep my own website relatively lightweight as well, just like many other personal blog sites.
- dmitriid 8y agoPeople do. And people who understand what the web and AMP are know that AMP isn't the solution. By the time you've loaded CNN's AMP page, you'll have loaded at least 4 MB: ~2 MB of AMP prefetching done on Google's search results page and another ~2.2 MB on the AMP page itself. If Google adhered to its own page performance standards, as outlined here: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/why-performance-matters/ https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/w..., CNN's AMP page would be demoted in search results. However, since its AMP, it gets put front and center in search carousel. Same goes for every single other AMP page.
- privateSFacct 8y agoIsn't CNN something like 7-8MB without AMP?
- josefx 8y agoTo reduce weight issues please replace all your dogs with cows. Research shows that cows are much lighter than your average whale and for this reason should always be used.
