Origin

edit

The article should mention how and who originated AMP. It presently lacks this information. 2A02:8388:1641:4700:0:0:0:5 (talk) 05:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Undue weight notice

edit

Regarding the "may lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies" message, that section is actually much shorter than it could be. It would be easy to include more links and opinions that are highly critical of AMP. Instead of shrinking this section, the other sections should be expanded. The article still doesn't mention how AMP works. Let99 (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dubious

edit

In Technology:Performance there is quote from CNBC stating "a 387% decrease in mobile page load time". Yes, there is such a statement on the referenced page, but I can't imagine how someone calculated it. If the decrease is calculated by   then the only way to end up with value over 100% is by negative new time. In this case the page has already loaded before the user clicks the link if I understand it correctly. Petriri (talk) 07:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

The value is most likely calculated as  . In this way, if the new page load times are 1.23 seconds, then the old page load times would be about 4.76 seconds. I will agree that this is a little bit of a confusing way to present the comparison (saying "a factor of 3.87" or "pages loaded 3.87 times faster" would be easier to understand), but it is not necessarily inaccurate.

The open-source claim is dubious

edit

AMP is not "open source" because it is a specification, not a computer program. There are some open-source libraries associated with it, but that doesn't make the spec open-source. It is highly controversial whether the main goal of AMP is simply to make websites faster. See the links in the criticism section. Let99 (talk) 13:09, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

"created as a competitor"

edit

The line "created by Google as a competitor to Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News" doesn't seem to make sense, as AMP doesn't really compete with either. It is certainly a response to a broader trend of fast-loading app content, which would include those two solutions but it is hardly a competitor for either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdNerd (talkcontribs) 16:50, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
