Why you need a fast site, not an AMP site

These days, everyone in the SEO cafeteria is talking AMP, AMP, AMP.

It’s been around for a time, and while some earlier pioneers have tried to make it work (me), many failed (also me) and have given up. So, when I saw the title of Jon Henshaw’s presentation at the recent Brighton SEO event ‘ FORGET AMP. MAKE FAST SITES', I thought my prayers had been answered! No need for AMP? That’s why, today, I have Jon on the show to give us the low down on AMP and speeding up websites.

• What is AMP?
• Why AMP might not be great for your website
