Google AMP or Google Accelerated Mobile Pages is Google's back-end, open source HTML framework. It is specifically designed to help mobile-optimized content load instantly on all devices. It aims at enhancing the mobile user experience by delivering content blazingly fast across multiple platforms. AMP-HTML is nothing but HTML5 with a certain set of specifications with optimization banked by JavaScript. AMP is capable of giving a big boost to business marketing strategies by enabling them to share content with a larger audience in quick time.
