Made no difference at all

Thanks for the review!

Note that the plugin doesn’t automatically redirect mobile visitors to AMP content; it just generates it for you. AMP content will be displayed to users by consumer/viewer apps like Google Search and Nuzzel.

Would also love to get more details on what specifically it’s slowing down so we can fix that.

Thanks for getting back to me, Mohammad. I have installed it and submitted the website to Google’s PageSpeed. My main concern was to speed up my mobile version, automatically generated by my WordPress Theme.

After I have done it, my PageSpeed rank was even lower than before, an indication that it was slower than the version without AMP.

If you can explain me better what AMP does, I would be grateful. It generates AMP content, but it does not show it? If someone access my website by its URL, there will be no AMP content for them to see, is that it?

Best regards,

Gustavo

Google PageSpeed Insights is optimized for the mobile view of desktop page, and the desktop view; it does not yet have a test for /AMP/ mobile framework, which will only be loaded and cached by those platforms supporting it.

So, testing for “speed” based on PageSpeed Insights is not yet a valid metric.

AMP doesn’t work the same way your mobile/responsive version page is loaded.

You may want to go review how AMP works; it’s NOT intended to speed up your existing theme, but it’s a secondary element for a new method of loading mobile content very quickly, or “almost instantly.”

There is an entire website about it, if you Google it, or check the plugin docs ??

Well, I have used another AMP plugin that has made the mobile version of my website pass the PageSpeed tests with almost no suggested corrections, while this plugin has reduced its mark. The problem with the other plugin is that the mobile version totally lost its configuration and became incredibly ugly, even if efficient at loading.

I just wonder how something that is not intended to speed up a theme cares for loading mobile content quickly. There may be a subtle difference, but the ultimate goal is clearly to speed things up. If it does not do that, it is pointless.

Anyway, I have only evaluated this plugin in order to warn Mohammad about this. I hope he can do his best with the information.

Best regards,

Gustavo
