For businesses and brands, slow page speed results in loss of revenue. In a study, Amazon concluded that even a 100ms delay in page load time could result in a 1% loss in revenue while faster loading pages could push the conversion rate of a transaction by 16.5%.
The above stats prove that a factor such as page load time could significantly hurt your business and brand visibility, especially considering that 80% of the web traffic is coming from mobile devices. But the problem – everyone now has a ‘mobile-friendly’ website. So, how can you jump ahead in this mobile-first rat race? Accelerated Mobile Pages is your answer.
What are Accelerated Mobile Pages?
In 2015, Google collaborated with technology companies and publishers and developed what came to be known as Accelerated Mobile Pages. As the name suggests, the idea behind AMP was to improve the page load speed of mobile websites.
AMP basically strips down the website application code to bare bones for faster loading. The Google AMP cache then ensures that the content is retrieved easily and immediately when a customer revisits the website. In addition, the page (design), its images, and other contents are reduced in size (responsive). When a search is made, the primary content of the AMP site is given priority over content that could reduce the page load time.
Using Milestone CMS’s exclusive ‘AMP as mobile’ feature, our client witnessed significant growth in the engagement of their local promotions.
