AMP delivers great user experiences by providing a framework for optimizing web pages that otherwise would take much longer to load on a mobile platform. This book shows how to solve page performance issues using the mobile web technologies available today. You will learn how to build instant-loading web pages, and have them featured more prominently on Google searches. If you want your website to succeed on mobile, if you care about SEO, and if you want to stay competitive, then this book is for you! You will go on a mobile web development journey that demonstrates with concrete examples how to build lightning-fast pages that will keep your visitors on-site and happy. This journey begins by showing how to build a simple blog article-style web page using AMP. As new concepts are introduced this page is gradually refined until you will have the skills and confidence to build a variety of rich and interactive mobile web pages. These will include e-commerce product pages, interactive forms and menus, maps and commenting systems, and even Progressive Web Apps.

Canonical AMP pages


This is the simplest approach: You have a single website, built on AMP. Because AMP supports responsive design, it will work on the desktop too. We've already seen examples of responsive web pages throughout this book, so we won't go into much detail here. The important thing to remember about canonical AMP pages is that the canonical link should point to itself:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/theampdoc.html"/>

While we've seen throughout this book that AMP is both flexible and powerful, there will always be scenarios that it won't be possible to solve with AMP alone. If this applies to your project, then using canonical AMP as your sole web solution won't be an option, and you should consider some of the other options covered in this chapter.
