Implement AMP Project framework

[thumped]

https://www.ampproject.org/

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.

In a certain sense @mazzly has met users' expectations which XenForo has not done, to its credit and it well deserves its current success.

good for him. bad for them.

If it were to be added by XF, I’d assume it would be an addon, and it would have a cost involved.

Whatever. I would have bought the add-on from XF too. Regardless of whether as an add-on or in the core, the problem is and remains XF has ignored the suggestion and ~ 187 potential customers for around 5 years. Whether as an add-on or in the core.
But it would be even more important to me that the mobile style from XF is just as fast as the desktop style. Then AMP becomes unimportant for us.

So those that would find AMP support essential, would have to purchase the addon.

We were one of the first to do so. Unfortunately, there was still nothing from XF until then - which is what this suggestion is about.

Then of course with add-ons from third-party providers you always have the problem of how long the third-party provider has existed. If the third party is gone, you're in the rain.
It is therefore important to me and many others that useful functions are implemented by XF and do not have to be retrofitted as a third-party add-on.

Until then, you are stuck using an addon from a third party developer, same boat as I am.

never understood why such a difference between mobile and pc results ... it remains a mystery for me and yes it should be resolved as a priority

Then of course with add-ons from third-party providers you always have the problem of how long the third-party provider has existed. If the third party is gone, you're in the rain.

And you also don't know if you buy a pretty expensive add-on and the next version of xf the feature is implemented because we have no visibility on what the xenforo developers are working on for the next version...

Chasing rainbows ...

I love charts and graphs. There's no need to say a word.

If you run Adsense, have you seen a corresponding increase in earnings?

Not the same person, but still relevant: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ampxf-amp-for-xenforo-2-paid.189922/post-1495754

Nope. I don't even see an increase in traffic. Yet. )
I have add-on only like 10 days. Google so far crawled only 10% of amp pages. I guess we need to wait at least for 3 months to see the real deal.

Wanted to take a look back.

Anyone still hasn't bought the AMP add-on? You are missing a lot

Please do NOT implement this.
There is a very good reason why things like the AMPutator Bot exists.

Too Long; Didn't Click:

• AMP promises a performance boost. This is questionable at best.
  • Performance improvement comes from preloading parts of the page, which is not an exclusive feature of AMP.
  • If AMP pages are uncached, performance improvements are effectively none.
• AMP doesn't support dynamic pages, which has been addressed by the developers earlier in this thread.
• AMP makes everyone rely on Google, which is not a direction we want to go.
• AMP limits the choices you can make regarding your website by removing functionality and diversity.
• AMP has privacy concerns, guaranteeing that Google can see who is visiting the website.

If you want to use AMP on your website despite these reasons, then a plugin is the best option. But I can guarantee that if this feature is added to XenForo, I will not be opting into it and if it's forced upon me, I will be modding the platform to remove it.
