Google AMP – A 70% drop in our conversion rate
Question: If what makes AMP fast is the restrictions on size, JS, and CSS, and you know this and want to conform to this, why do you need to use AMP? Why not just develop your site like this anyways? Is the lightning bolt really that worth it? I&#x27;m not convinced that (any more) Google prioritizes AMP pages beyond the coincidence that they prioritize faster ones and they are faster.<p>Also, I wonder if I&#x27;m the only one that avoids AMP-based sites out of principle. I highly doubt it affects your conversions (I&#x27;m not really the easily &quot;convertible&quot; type), but makes one wonder if there can be effective web tech boycotts.
