This is what I get if I block `ampproject.org` (which -- given its purpose -- is meant to become ubiquitous): A blank page.[1]<p>In reality, the speed gain (which is the advertised benefit of AMP) is just a matter of avoiding to pull all the optional 3rd parties.<p>For example, a non-AMP random article from the same site[2], the page loads quite fast when I block all 3rd-party scripts&#x2F;frames, except those from `vox-cdn.com` and `voxmedia.com`. The page renders fine -- with the virtuous &quot;side effect&quot; that 18 more 3rd-party are not logging network requests from my IP in their server logs (in this specific case).[3]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;assets&#x2F;585534&#x2F;10397383&#x2F;6c93aeae-6e75-11e5-918e-39a587ecb888.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.githubusercontent.com&#x2F;assets&#x2F;585534&#x2F;10397383&#x2F;6...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;9&#x2F;9486505&#x2F;california-calecpa-electronic-surveillance-warrant-law" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;9&#x2F;9486505&#x2F;california-calecpa...</a><p>[3] The total number of 3rd-party in this specific case climb to at least 48 without a blocker.
