What is AMP?
AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages, a Google-backed project intended as an open standard for any publisher to have pages load quickly on mobile devices. The AMP Project was formally announced on Oct. 7, 2015, with support from Google, Twitter, WordPress and several publishers and other companies.
Benefits of AMP -
AMP impact on Us -
As a consumer, the expansion of AMP is positive. More of the web will be faster and you’ll have less annoying pop-up advertisements that generate revenue for sites thanks to your fumbly fingers. Though it’s going to be a while before this rolls out, as sites will have to test the features and decide if they want to cede this much power to Google.
FAQ of AMP -
What is the Accelerated Mobile Pages project?
The Accelerated Mobile Pages (“AMP”) Project is an open source initiative that came out of discussions between publishers and technology companies about the need to improve the entire mobile content ecosystem for everyone -- publishers, consumer platforms, creators, and users.
Today, the expectation is that content should load super fast and be easy to explore. The reality is that content can take several seconds to load, or, because the user abandons the slow page, never fully loads at all. Accelerated Mobile Pages are web pages designed to load near instantaneously -- they are a step towards a better mobile web for all.
What are the benefits of Accelerated Mobile Pages?
Speed matters and instant is the ideal. Research has shown higher bounce rates associated with slower-loading web pages. Using the AMP format will make it far more compelling for people to consume and engage with more content. But this isn’t just about speed and performance. We also want to promote enhanced distribution so that publishers can take advantage of the open web’s potential for their content to appear everywhere quickly -- across platforms and apps -- which can lead to more revenue via ads and subscriptions.
How do Accelerated Mobile Pages work?
Accelerated Mobile Pages are just like any other HTML page, but with a limited set of allowed technical functionality that is defined and governed by the open source AMP spec. Just like all web pages, Accelerated Mobile Pages will load in any modern browser or app webview.
AMP files take advantage of various technical and architectural approaches that prioritize speed to provide a faster experience for users. AMP developers can use a rich and growing library of web components that offer the ability to embed rich media objects like video and social posts, display advertising, or collect analytics. The goal is not to homogenize how content looks and feels, but instead to build a more common technical core between pages that speeds up load times.
In addition, AMP files can be cached in the cloud in order to reduce the time content takes to get to a user’s mobile device. By using the AMP format, content producers are making the content in AMP files available to be cached by third parties. Under this type of framework, publishers continue to control their content, but platforms can easily cache or mirror the content for optimal delivery speed to users. Google has provided a cache that can be used by anyone at no cost, and all AMPs will be cached by the Google AMP Cache. Other companies may build their own AMP cache as well.
In summary, the goal is that the combination of limited technical functionality with a distribution system built around caching will lead to better performing pages, and increased audience development for publishers.
Why does the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project take an open source approach?
The companies involved in the project want to make the mobile web work better for all -- not just for one platform, one set of technologies, or one set of publishers. Making the project open source enables people to share and contribute their ideas and code for making the mobile web fast. We are just at the beginning of that journey and we look forward to other publishers and technology companies joining along the way.
Who can use Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The project is open to all players in the ecosystem - publishers, consumer platforms, and creators. To get an idea who some of the companies and sites are who use AMP, head to the Who page.
What are the consequences of using Accelerated Mobile Pages?
By using the AMP format, content producers are making the content in AMP files available to be crawled, indexed & displayed (subject to the robots exclusion protocol) and cached by third parties.
What type of content works best using Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The goal is for all published content, from news stories to videos and from blogs to photographs and GIFs, to work using Accelerated Mobile Pages.
As a publisher, does making my content work for Accelerated Mobile Pages entail more work?
In short, not much. Since “AMP HTML” is built entirely out of existing web technologies, the development process mirrors the one publishers are already using today. Publishers can familiarize themselves with the AMP HTML specification on GitHub. For those used to the current process, we don’t expect a significant learning curve.
How can a publisher get content into AMP HTML?
Publishers and Content Management System (CMS) providers can develop an integration with their CMS to generate AMP content. Automattic has already published a WordPress AMP plugin and we hope that all content management systems will add support for AMP HTML pages.
Platform and Technology Company Involvement
How can a consumer platform get involved in Accelerated Mobile Pages?
The project is open to everyone, and existing members of the project are very enthusiastic to engage with consumer platforms on the initiative. Google has opened its cache for use for free by anyone, including to consumer platforms that would like to display AMP content in their environment. Please get in touch via Github and we will address your questions as quickly as we can.
How can an advertising or technology vendor get involved in Accelerated Mobile Pages?
Please review the contributing guidelines and get in touch via Github.
Publisher Monetization
How does advertising work on Accelerated Mobile Pages?
A goal of the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project is to ensure effective ad monetization on the mobile web while embracing a user-centric approach. With that context, the objective is to provide support for a comprehensive range of ad formats, ad networks and technologies in Accelerated Mobile Pages. As part of that, those involved with the project are also engaged in crafting Sustainable Ad Practices to ensure that ads in AMP files are fast, safe, compelling and effective for users.
Are publishers able to sell their own ad inventory?
Yes, as with their existing websites, publishers control their ad inventory and how they sell it.
How do subscriptions and paywalls work with Accelerated Mobile Pages?
It is a core objective of the Accelerated Mobile Pages project to support subscriptions and paywalls. AMP currently supports a flexible access framework where publishers can control the document viewing experience for subscribers, metered users and anonymous users.
How are analytics being handled in this AMP format?
Ensuring publishers are able to get robust analytics insight is a core design goal for the project. While the analytics support in the demo release is very limited, the spec is expected to have support for collection of analytics information, and integrating with 3rd party systems without compromising the AMP file speed or size. Several analytics providers are participating in the project.
Do publishers receive credit for the traffic from a measurement perspective?
Yes, an AMP file is the same as the rest of your site – this space is the publisher’s canvas.
How do I become a part of this project?
We welcome interested individuals and companies who want to get involved to fill out the Github, so that we can add you to a distribution list and keep you posted on any new information.
