Hello Tagdiv,
Almost 80% of my blog visits are from Mobile device. I’m planning to optimize the site for mobile. Which is the best option? Whether using the mobile plugin or Google AMP. Is this theme compatible with AMP? will AMP work when the mobile plugin is active?
Thanks.
We opted for AMP here, then did massive optimization of desktop version for responsive purposes (we use native fonts, remove unused code like bbpress or woocommerce, minify js and css, inline critical css above the fold, etc.).
Time consuming work, but just one of many options. 🙂
So which is best? Can I use both the mobile plugin and AMP?. Will it work without problems?
Well, AMP only works for those browsers that are compatible not “all mobile devices” … and your content has to pass AMP validation, and get enough hits to be cached and served as AMP version by Google servers or whatever.
Up to you.
We use responsive design for non-AMP, and AMP for AMP-compatible mobile.
Nothing is best, just choices on what works for you. Coke or Pepsi. I opt for A&W root beer, myself.
( I don’t work here; just some feedback. )
Hi,
any official advice from the TagDiv Team? (no offense Chris – your posts are great 🙂 )
I’ve read in another thread that AMP will be implemented in Newspaper a future update. So is it recommended to use the Mobile Theme for the moment and wait for the AMP-update of the theme?
Coming soon: AMP support
Official AMP plugin got major update today with pages support and direct preview button integration in main post editor.
I have implemented tagdiv composer and removed visual composer. Used mobile plugin and optimized the speed for the mobile visitors. In addition i have also implemented amp use the AMP for WordPress plugin. Good to hear that the official plugin is goimg to be released. I have a doubt now. After the official release of AMP, what happens to the mobile plugin? Is it still required or can I show the same amp pages to the mobile users? The output of both the mobile plugin and amp pages will be almost same. What is the use of keeping both the plugins?
