AMP for Online Forums/Communities

[WallStreetOasis.com]

This great article by Eric Enge makes a compelling case for jumping to AMP for news sites, but does anyone have any data or have heard of an online forum using AMP as well?

I run an online community and we are thinking of making the (relatively heavy) investment into making most of our pages AMP friendly...

Thank you!

Hi Patrick,

In my opinion, implementing AMP should be considered if happens some (or all) of these scenarios:

• Mobile traffic from google is really a big percetage,
• Site speed is not good and improving AMP causes less effort and/or better improvements,
• If revenue is hurt by slow page speed.

NOT just making the effort whether other sites like yours has AMP.
Also, remember the last part of Eric's article: Making the AMP page correct, with the right user experience and that has no errors.

Dont know if you've read it, a few weeks ago, there were some news about the AMP project, saying that will improve how it's URL is shown. This is: Improving URLs for AMP pages - AMPproject.org

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR.
