Accelerated Mobile Pages, What is AMP?

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is an open-source initiative launched by Google in 2015 that aims to improve the speed and performance of mobile web pages. The technology is designed to optimize web pages for mobile devices, with a focus on minimizing loading times and improving overall user experience.

AMP pages are designed to be stripped-down versions of traditional web pages, with simplified HTML code and streamlined CSS and JavaScript. This allows them to load much faster than standard mobile web pages, which can be slow and clunky on mobile devices.

In addition to the streamlined code, AMP pages are served from a global network of servers, which further speeds up page loading times. AMP also includes a number of built-in optimizations, such as lazy loading of images and the prioritization of content above the fold.

AMP is used by a wide range of websites and publishers, including news organizations, e-commerce sites, and social media platforms. The technology is supported by all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
