This document contains a Twitter thread from Patrick Stox discussing concerns and considerations around implementing AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) for large enterprises. Some key points discussed include: - AMP adds complexity for enterprises that have to maintain multiple systems and meet various legal/technical requirements - It may not be possible for some enterprises to implement AMP if they have content/functionality that does not validate - Adopting AMP requires buy-in and resources from many different teams within an organization - There are open questions around legal issues, impact on brands, and what would happen if Google discontinued support for AMP in the future.

- 25. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Share these #SMXInsights on your social channels! #SMXInsights There is ~1 second avg difference from the prerendering vs direct load of AMP pages. That’s speed you can’t make up and the perceived load time is even greater.
- 26. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Would AMP Have The Adoption It Does Without The Carrots?
- 27. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox I’m For It If it gets you something.
- 28. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Think Of It Like PPC If you don’t pay, you don’t show. As a business, you pay.
- 29. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Sure, AMP Is Open Source You can make your own cache, but you get none of those carrots.
- 30. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Instead of granting premium placement in search results only to AMP, provide the same perks to all pages that meet an objective, neutral performance criterion such as Speed Index. Publishers can then use any technical solution of their choice. Do not display third-party content within a Google page unless it is clear to the user that they are looking at a Google product. It is perfectly acceptable for Google to launch a “news reader”, but it is not acceptable to display a page that carries only third party branding on what is actually a Google URL, nor to require that third party to use Google’s hosting in order to appear in search results.

- 31. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Standards, guidelines, ownership, legal requirements, business requirements As An Enterprise, There Are Rules
- 32. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox It’s another system to maintain. More chances for things to go wrong. May have to implement across multiple systems that may or may not have funding or resources to maintain it. Complexity
- 33. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox You may have requirements that would invalidate AMP. It Either Validates Or It Doesn’t
- 34. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox https://www.semrush.com/blog/amp-mistakes-semrush-study/ Mistakes According To SEMrush
- 35. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox If developers could get rid of that bloat, they probably would have already. You have to prioritize resources, and if you get approvals to get rid of a lot of the blockers, you may have to decide to go with AMP, improve a system, or consolidate systems. There Are Tradeoffs
- 36. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox There are a lot of case studies showing improvement with AMP, but I wonder if you’d see the same results if you sped up you own site as much. Case Studies?
- 37. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox It requires a lot of buy in from different teams. Complexity
- 38. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Can you have another company host your content? Can you have Google’s URL shown for your Content? Allowed to load those extra tracking scripts AMP adds? Will a team give up something like analytics for more performance? What happens if AMP goes away? Will those pages be redirected forever? Questions On Legal, Brand, Technical
- 39. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox AMP Argues You Could Do AMP Only
- 40. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Functionality Analytics Scrolling URLs Blank Pages Problems
- 41. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox But each addition or change to the system means we need more discussions with more teams and more developers. They’re Working On It
- 42. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Share these #SMXInsights on your social channels! #SMXInsights If you’re going to implement AMP on an enterprise site, hire more developers.
- 43. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox That’s a real risk as an enterprise. Not only are there a lot of decisions to make to get a new system up and running, there’s a lot that goes into taking it down. What If AMP Goes Away?
- 44. #SMX #XXA @patrickstox Standard web prefetch API. Extended Prerender spec to allow more than 1 site along with something like Feature Policy to handle bandwidth, CPU, security. Web Packaging Standard (allow any site to proxy any other site) start linking to prerendered Web Packages, rather the original site. Could That Happen?
