The Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Project is an initiative to improve the mobile web and enhance the distribution ecosystem. If content is fast, flexible and beautiful, including compelling and effective ads, we can preserve the open web publishing model as well as the revenue streams so important to the sustainability of quality publishing.

AMP HTML is a new way to make web pages that are optimized to load instantly on users’ mobile devices. It is designed to support smart caching, predictable performance, and modern, beautiful mobile content. Since AMP HTML is built on existing web technologies, and not a template based system, publishers continue to host their own content, innovate on their user experiences, and flexibly integrate their advertising and business models -- all within a technical architecture optimized for speed and performance.

Some of you might think that the increase in the traffic is due to COVID-19. Yes, COVID-19 did effect it but I would like to show you our competitors during the same period:

Competitor #1, no AMP:

Us, with AMP:

  • AMP is a criteria for Google ranking.
  • 95% of users will not contribute to your forum! This is a fact. There is no need to provide them with a full page!
  • Mobile is more than 50% of the traffic. And mobile users need speed, which can be provided with AMP.
And BTW, we completely removed Tapatalk as since XenForo 2.1, there is no need to use it. XenForo is mobile optimized with the exception of AMP, of course...
 
So here's an argument for AMP.

If this is true, then AMP is used for measuring performance by Google, and ultimately ranking.


There are many sites that have three versions, mobile, AMP and desktop. Google has revealed that sites created with both a mobile and AMP version will have their mobile version crawled for indexing and the AMP version used for Web Vitals scoring.

Google will then use the AMP version for user experience ranking factors represented by the Web Vitals metrics.

And the desktop version will be shown as an alternate URL for those on a desktop device.

So adding AMP, assuming it performs better than your mobile, will help.
 
Hey @au lait, no way you can make your add-on available to us again?

That would be a dream, especially because AMP plays an even bigger role for Google in addition to "high-quality content".

But since a developer in the new HYS was rather averse to AMP and 115 likes were still unsuccessful, I don't think that AMP will ever be officially implemented.
@au lait hear our misery... :/ please...

No, it will. PWA is one step. They did it. AMP is the next one. XenForo is the most future-proof forum software at the moment and they will implement AMP sooner or later. I'm sure NixFifty is working on it...

What makes you think NixFifty is working on it? Genuine question. Voted btw!

There are suggestions from 2010 that have more votes, so amp will have to wait another 10 years.
They are busy with more important stuff like profile backgrounds. )))
