I would urge people to tell Matt Mullenweg and core WordPress developers that they don't want AMP in WordPress core. Since WordPress runs on >30% of the web, if WP adopts it, it will make the choice for most of the web that websites must shape themselves in the way Google wants it. Google is currently doing a stellar job penetrating WordPress and using its increasing influence to support its own business interests.
- Animats 7y agoProbably the most effective move that can be made right now. Affects a huge number of sites. Challenge for WordPress: make it work faster without AMP than with AMP.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoHow can you make something faster than prerendered?
- pcmaffey 7y agoPrerender it. Should be table stakes for sites nowadays.
- o-__-o 7y agoWell. You can’t prerender a BGP announcement at your ISPs border. So your locally cached prerendered version on -insert some random ISP here- will always be slower than google in 99% of the cases. Been competing against google since 2005, I’ve seen a thing or two.
- pcmaffey 7y agoFor sure you're not going to be faster than google. But if you're site is > 3x slower than AMP, people will notice and prefer AMP. The point is to stay competitive.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoThe resources aren't even on the browser, so how will it prerender the page?
- ggg3 7y agoif they run 30pct of the web, aren't they on the best position to offer an alternative instead of simply boycotting in a way that will likely drop them from 30 to 2pct?
