Interested in Accelerated Mobile Pages but not
sure how to get started? AMPlifying your site for lightning speed might be easier than you think.
If you use a Content Management System (CMS) like
WordPress,
Drupal, or
Hatena, getting set up on AMP is as simple as
installing and activating a plug-in. Each CMS has a slightly different approach to AMPlifying
pages, so it’s worth checking with your provider on how to get started.
On the other hand, if your site uses custom HTML, or you want to learn how AMP works under the
hood, then check out the AMP Codelab for a
guided, hands-on coding experience designed to take you through the process of developing your
first pages. The Codelab covers the fundamentals:
- How AMP improves the user experience of the mobile web
- The foundations of an AMP page
- AMP limitations
- How AMP web components solve common problems
- How to validate your AMP pages
- How to prepare your AMP pages for Google Search
Once you are done with the basics, why not geek out with the
Advanced Concepts Codelab?
Have you tried the Codelabs or added an AMP plugin to your site? Share your feedback in the

if you have any questions or need help, you can post in our
