Well, we have dedicated server with dual Xeon E5-2640v3 processors and 32GB of RAM. So, I have enough horsepower to throw at anything pretty much (except that one version/batch/trunk of Visual Composer that killed the box last year! which led to Radu’s “shim” plugin workaround). So, not best person to ask beyond saying “we have never had a problem with it” — but then, I never had issue with wp-postviews either, sooo…. unless you’re trying to do something funky with a CDN, bad ad network with timeout issues, etc. I don’t see a problem.
Oh, I know what one of the ‘hax’ we did was, as I don’t think it originally did/supported ‘async’ mode for stuff; which was one thing we did.
Anyway — works for me, “your mileage may vary.”
(and for you geeky folk; specs on just ONE of the processors on our new server went live Aug 5, sadly as our old server had total RAID failure during migration; http://ark.intel.com/products/83359/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2640-v3-20M-Cache-2_60-GHz ).
Sorry.
We ‘hacked’ the plugin a couple of years back (4 years?) when it was very simple and there was no pro version, as at the time it didn’t work well with https or couple of other things, so we “modified” the code. Since it still works with latest WP, and PHP, we’ve just left it as is. Might have to revisit when we start mucking with PHP7, but have not gotten to that YET.
Initially very simple plugin to create ad groups, a “weight” for each ad, and then rotate those ads, randomly in a widget. That was it. Still, we’ve been recommending it on these forums for 3 years now (has it been THAT long since TagDiv launched? Yikes!).
I think I used “hacked” in the wrong sense here. Should have said “modified.”
We license everything up the wazoo over here as a legal business/company in California, USA.
No “warez” here !
((I don’t work here; we just run “most” of our sites on TagDiv themes.))
You can embed shortcodes into a custom snippet of any code, like ads, etc., using the filter hooks in the AMP plugin docs to add a block of code at footer in the AMP template.
For videos, yes, we use the template with “no featured image” for the post, then put the video at top of the post box. We also do this for some book reviews where the book cover is tall and skinny and doesn’t work well for any of the featured sizes.
Or, you could create custom field for your video, then add an amp-iframe video box by inserting the shortcode at footer of the amp template.
By example to play with, which must be added to main functions.php
//Chris EXAMPLE AMP FOOTER
add_action( 'amp_post_template_footer', 'xyz_amp_add_pixel' );
function xyz_amp_add_pixel( $amp_template ) {
$post_id = $amp_template->get( 'post_id' );
?>
<div class="s2pamp02">
<p><em>My super special copyright notice goes here.</em></p>
<!--Related posts / or any compatible shortcode for plugin-->
<?php if ( function_exists( 'echo_ald_crp' ) ) echo_ald_crp(); ?>
</div>

<div class="s2pamp01">

<h2><strong>Wow it's Chris' headline!</strong></h2>
<p>You can put text here, isn't it amazing!</p>
