Should your WordPress sites use Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)? It’s a simple question with a complicated answer.
When it was announced in 2015, Google billed the AMP Project as a way to improve the performance of mobile pages, and the experience for users on mobile devices. Automattic announced that it would support AMP in October of the same year. An AMP plugin was soon made available in the WordPress Plugin Repository which allowed you to add AMP support to your WordPress site. The original plugin was a pretty spartan affair, but substantial development has taken place over the intervening years.
In this article, we’ll cover how AMP works, how to use both the official AMP plugin and an alternative, and finally a method to boost your site speed for all users with WP Offload Media and SpinupWP without using AMP at all.
