I would like to have my website optimized better for mobile. My site is super slow on mobile compared to desktop and trying to see if one of these plug ins would help? Do I need to install both or just 1? Also looking for the simplest option as I can’t add HTML codes, etc..

Thank you!

Hi,
The mobile theme plugin is used for the mobile version, but the amp is a little different:
AMP is an open source HTML framework developed by the AMP Open Source Project. It was originally created by Google as a competitor to Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News. AMP is optimized for mobile web browsing and intended to help webpages load faster from google results.
So the amp is used when you search from mobile on google and you find some results. If those have an amp version, this will be stored on google and it will delivered faster.
The mobile theme plugin is referring on hot it looks your mobile version and it make the mobile version faster then responsive -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/
Now we offer the possibility to use them together, what that means? it means that the amp layout will be the same with the mobile theme layout. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
Therefore, you can use both of them or only the mobile theme plugin.
Thank you!

I see that is not just add the plug in and it works. I don’t have any programming skills to add custom pages, etc.. I guess, I will have to pass. The last time I added the plug in last year, my whole site on desktop was not working properly. Can you use the AMP by itself?

Hi,
Yes, you can use only the amp plugin, just make sure that this is set on “Reader” > https://i.imgur.com/6OY3Dqd.png
