AWC is AMP’d

By AWC I mean AreWeConnected.com and by AMP’d I mean Accelerated Mobile Pages.

Yeah, it’s already mobile responsive but this is different.  It’s a push from Google. Again.

Here’s a video

Not to get too technical but here’s what they are looking for…
The following optimizations combined are the reason AMP pages are so fast they appear to load instantly:

  • Allow only asynchronous scripts
  • Size all resources statically
  • Don’t let extension mechanisms block rendering
  • Keep all third-party JavaScript out of the critical path
  • All CSS must be inline and size-bound
  • Font triggering must be efficient
  • Minimize style recalculations
  • Only run GPU-accelerated animations
  • Prioritize resource loading
  • Load pages in an instant
  • Help make AMP faster

Ok, so that was waaaaaaay too technical. Sorry about that.
It’s a cut and paste from their site https://www.ampproject.org/

The thought is (and this isn’t only Google) that more and more that content needs to be optimized for mobile.  When Google announced they were dropping non mobile sites off the SERPS it started a small panic. This would be Phase 2.

What they are saying is that it’s just not enough to be mobile friendly, now they want to kick it up a notch.  Said Google. “It’s as simple as that. Can me make the web great again?”

Remember: The one constant in technology is that everything changes. Get used to it, it really does.

He's an avid hockey fan, rides a mountain bike, sometimes rides a road bike, has a few motorcycles (he had a really fast one, bought a cool orange one, rode a really slow one, and now,a perfect "BDR Weapon"). If that isn't enough, he makes cheese and sourdough bread, loves strong beer and good red wine, and poorly plays the Mandolin.

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
