So another problem with AMP delivered via Google is it tends to utterly booger your analytics... first pageview (via the Google cache) is viewed as a different domain than your site. This can play havoc with optimization efforts.
In terms of performance... this is a situation where the AVERAGE AMP site is much faster than the AVERAGE site not using AMP... but that's a rigged game given the volume of non-optimized WordPress junk and god-knows-what coming from the typical advertising server (images, video, scripts).
A well-optimized site run by knowledgeable and balanced adults will see a moderate improvement in speed; this is assuming you leaned out the pages already and kept the advertising cruft on a short leash. You can generally beat AMP's load times with some elbow grease.

- drb91 8y agoLoad times ain’t everything, and it’s a terrible pitch for something that breaks basic rules of browsing.
- ec109685 8y agoThis post was specifically saying you could beat AMP’s load times. That isn’t possible.
- sixtypoundhound 8y agoYou can actually.... with very, very lean design....
- ec109685 8y agoNope. You can’t best the speed of light.
