Have you ever experienced speed issues with your Magento store? Or perhaps you have noticed the decrease in conversion due to the poor visibility in Google SERPs? If you can relate to this – there’s a cure and the name is Google AMP technology.
The AMP project was started in 2015 and the main idea was to create the most lightweight pages possible, allowing static content to load instantly. At first, AMP was used for articles, news, and blogs, etc. But luckily for you – AMP is now available for Magento 1 and Magento 2!
