In my experience AMP website would always be missing features like comments or be bugged in other ways so I usually have to load the full website anyway. It just wastes my time and is one of the reasons why I switched away from Google search.
- admax88q 6y ago99% of the time I didn't want comments, I just wanted the content. AMP performance was a huge win for me as a user. I almost never wanted the "full experience" of a page. I wanted its core content, quickly. I agree AMP is anti-competitive, but if publishers made their default pages as lightweight as an AMP page _felt_ then they would have far more of a leg to stand on with users in regards to it being anti-competitive.
- p49k 6y agoPublishers can’t make their default pages feel as lightweight as AMP pages because Google won’t preload their content like they do with AMP pages.

Takes almost 6 seconds to finish loading and settle (content stop moving around). Pre-loading is not the only reason amp is faster. On mobile its even more dramatic.
- dbt00 6y agoThat's all well and good when you're browsing search results, but then people copy and paste shitty amp links all over the place when they no longer have any advantages (because they're not precached).
