What Is AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages)?
On October 2015, Google announced its new Accelerated Mobile Pages project that aims at providing a faster mobile browsing and mobile consumption through its search engine by developing a new open sourced type of HTML, called the AMP HTML. AMP is a way to build web pages for static content that render fast on mobile.
AMP in action working with three different parts:
AMP HTML is HTML with some unique tags for reliable performance and some extensions for building rich AMP HTML content. AMP HTML is AMP properties and attributes.
The AMP JS library ensures the fast rendering of AMP HTML pages. The AMP JS library implements all of AMP’s best performance practices, manages loading time and gives you the custom tags to ensure a fast rendering of your page.
The Google AMP Cache is a proxy-based content delivery network for delivering all valid AMP documents. It fetches AMP HTML pages, caches them, and improves page performance automatically. When using the Google AMP Cache, the document, all JS files and all images load from the same origin that is using HTTP 2.0 for maximum efficiency.
Features of AMP :
- Allow only asynchronous scripts
- Size all resources statically
- External resources such as images, ads or iframes must state their size in the HTML so that AMP can determine each element’s size and position before resources are downloaded.
