Testing the AMP performance with the Industry tools.

Let’s get one thing straight, all the tools that you are using to test the performance of AMP are not yet calibrated for the AMP technology.

I am talking about the tools that people trust and rely for the data such as Google Pagespeed tools, Pingdom Tools, GTmetrix.

The benchmark that they have set for the highest performance to score 100 but it’s impossible to do that in AMP.

How can it be impossible to score 100 score?

because these tools recommend you to get rid of cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js which is the backbone of the AMP. If we remove it then AMP won’t work, it’s just not possible.

A Revised Performance Benchmark Score for AMP

The performance tools do a great job at helping you optimize your page but if you are looking to test AMP then you should be looking at two things.

Achieving Top Performance with AMP Cache

We have done some tests with AMP Cache plugin and here are the results.

So I will divide the results into two different kinds of audience.

  High Performance

• It drastically improves the loading speed of the AMP pages
  

  Load Balancing on Server

  This not only improves the website speed but because of the method we are using, it will reduce the load on the server and allowing it to run faster.

  Improve PageSpeed Score

  It has some built in optimizations that gives you the best pagespeed score in the AMP. ( The maximum score on AMP is 91 Mobile | 97 in Desktop )

  Service Worker
  with AMP PWA

  Service worker is a new kind of technology which makes your site ultra fast and available for offline browsing. Our PWA for AMP extensions works great with AMP cache!
