AMP Compatibility Support

Hi,

I’ve recently installed the Amp plugin here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/accelerated-mobile-pages/

It’s helped speed up my page. But I noticed in my google analytics the amp versions of my page have very high bounce rates. I’m wondering if you’re plugin is working on the amp pages as well. If not, when will it be updated to support amp pages.

Here’s an example of a page with high bounce rate according to analytics:

You’ll see the drastic difference. The pages in question are here:

Please advise. Thanks,

Eddy

Hi Eddy,

That’s a huge speed difference! In the past I also wanted to use Amp but stopped trying after it had so many limitations. One of the limitations was no external javascript. The purpose of Amp is speed and javascript slows down a website.
This is the problem with a plugin like mine. It uses javascript and therefore it cannot be used with Amp right now.

The amp website is down, so I can’t look there for solutions, but here Amp – best way to write javascript might be a solution. It could be that they allow external javascript.

Second thing would be the Analytics code in Amp. It won’t play along with the current plugin. If I want to do something with Analytics and event I might need to create an option within the plugin to add the Analytics code.

I would like to use Amp as well so I will definitely look at it, but it could be next month when I start making a new website. Before that, no time, sorry.

Thank you for reminding me Amp. I hope there are ways to include external javascript.

Going to disappoint you with “soon”. It’s not high on my priority list. Number one is painting my house 🙂

Lol. That’s understandable.
