AMP is about making the web faster for the common Joe.
- HALtheWise 8y agoIt is also likely that you don't spend a significant amount of time browsing on a 2G cellular connection. When ping times are very long, the only way to get web performance anywhere close to native apps is pre-caching, which is what AMP is designed to enable (link-rel="prefetch" is a privacy nightmare). AMP is about the common Joe, but also about the 90th percentile slow performance (like in the developing world or on cellular networks).
