● Why speed is important?
● What are the problems AMP addresses?
● What is in AMP?

Will abandon a site

Expect a page to
load in <2 seconds

Say fast load time
speed is important
to site loyalty
52%
Slow and steady doesn’t win the race
What are user expectations for mobile sites?

Mobile pages should render in < 1s

600ms to 1s

overhead which can’t be avoided
(average 750 Kbps to 1 Mbps)

Accelerated Mobile Pages
Fast content + distribution on the web

2 Poor consumer perceptions of mobile web experiences
1 Evolving ecosystems of closed distribution models
3 Monetization at the content level is hard
4 Technology updates are outpacing development cycles
5 Ad Blockers are a challenge to the industry
We are faced with new challenges
With a common objective: an open ecosystem of knowledge

So we need something...
Fast Easy to
implement
Mobile
Friendly
Embrace the
open web
Gives strong
Incentives
✔⚡

How to make fast web pages
1. Simplify the pages
a. Less Javascript
2. Optimize the bandwidth
a. Get the best content for your device (image resolution etc.)
b. Parallelize the loading (asynchronous load)
3. Cache the pages
a. Use Content Delivery Networks to store a local copy of the
pages
⚡

How to make fast web pages
Use HTTP/2 whenever possible.
You get that for free if you use the Google AMP Cache.

Easy to implement
What is required
● Start with the doctype <!doctype html>.
● Contain a top-level <html ⚡> tag (<html amp> is accepted as well).
● Contain <head> and <body> tags.
● Contain a <link rel="canonical" href="$SOME_URL" /> tag inside their head that points to
the regular HTML version of the AMP HTML document or to itself if no such HTML
version exists.
● Contain a <meta charset="utf-8"> tag as the first child of their head tag.
● Contain a <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1"> tag
inside their head tag. It’s also recommended to include initial-scale=1.
● Contain a <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> tag as the last
element in their head (this includes and loads the AMP JS library).

Easy to implement
Simple AMP webpage
<!doctype html>
<html amp lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Hello, AMPs</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://example.ampproject.org/article-metadata.html" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1,initial-scale=1">
<style amp-boilerplate>body{-webkit-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal

-amp-start{from{visibility:hidden}to{visibility:visible}}</style><noscript><style
amp-boilerplate>body{-webkit-animation:none;-moz-animation:none;-ms-animation:none;animation:non
e}</style></noscript>
<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to the mobile web</h1>
</body>
</html>

Mobile Friendly
“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.”
Not just mobile friendly but browser friendly.
✔

Embrace the open web
“The initial companies involved in this early preview of 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.”
Unlike other mobile friendly solutions, AMP is open source
and does not require you to be locked into a publishing
platform (Facebook Instant Articles) or be an approved
publisher (Apple News Format).

Embrace the open web
“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. ”
Will publishers be able to sell their own ad inventory?
Yes, as with their existing websites, publishers control their ad inventory and how they sell it.

AMP JS
The library managing:
➔ Resource loading
➔ Core web components
➔ Performance
optimizations

Google AMP Cache
➔ Cache of valid AMP
documents available for
anyone to use
➔ HTTP/2 with same

➔ Google products all

➔ API available to query

AMP Validation Rules Enforced
● All script tags have async attributes.
● Only inline CSS
● Only 50KB of CSS
● Only AMP’s own JavaScript (support for variety of
extensions/custom-elements)
● 3rd party JS is only allowed in iframes.
● Resources must have static-responsive size declared in markup.
● Resource resizing is controlled by AMP Runtime.

Optimizations include:
● Only the first viewport is prerendered
— because AMP knows where each
page element is positioned
● No 3rd party JavaScript is executed
at this stage
Prerendering by Platforms Can Make Loading Instant?

Linking pages with <link>
Add information about the AMP page to the non-AMP page and vice versa, in the form of
<link> tags in the <head>.
Add the following to the non-AMP page:
<link rel="amphtml"
href="https://www.example.com/url/to/amp/document.html">
And this to the AMP page:
<link rel="canonical"
href="https://www.example.com/url/to/full/document.html">
Make Your Page Discoverable

● EXPLORE
ampproject.org/docs to learn more and read documentation
github.com/ampproject/amphtml to connect with the development team
ampbyexample.com Look at working AMP examples
● DEVELOP & TEST
Start developing AMP pages and validate them
● LAUNCH
Point to AMP pages from canonical articles to make them discoverable and
eligible to appear in content platforms
