The primary benefit of AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is faster page load times on mobile devices.
AMP provides this benefit through a combination of techniques designed to optimize web page performance:
-
Faster Page Loading: AMP pages load significantly faster compared to standard mobile pages. This is due to AMP's limitations on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, enforcing coding best practices.
-
Prioritized Loading: AMP prioritizes the loading of critical elements, ensuring the user sees the most important content first.
-
Efficient Caching: AMP utilizes caches to drastically increase the speed of content delivery to users.
-
Removal of Render-Blocking Scripts: AMP eliminates many render-blocking scripts, which can slow down page rendering.
In essence, AMP's focus on speed provides a better user experience, potentially leading to increased engagement and reduced bounce rates.
