Curious as to why you think AMP is a step to the right direction.



Because the pages load fast and are not bloated, which is the point of this article.

Unfortunately Google has bound it to other questionable practices like hosting on their domain, but it’s still a step on the right direction. We need something like that plus a way to cache it on the edge servers in a portable fashion so that any CDN like Cloudflare could pick them up.


AMP is not bound to hosting on Google, Bing now has an AMP cache as well: https://blogs.bing.com/Webmaster-Blog/September-2018/Introdu...

And since you mention Cloudflare, I searched a bit and found https://www.amp.cloudflare.com/

There are problems with AMP, but Google exclusivity is not one of those problems.
