> No, everywhere else it's the normal speed

Faster and slower are relative terms.

> Nothing about AMP is slowing down your normal web page

Nothing about AMP is making the web faster, which it says it's doing on the project homepage. It's making a fork of the web to be shown on Google that is 'faster'.



I realize you hate AMP and rational discourse is unlikely to change your mind, but here's what their homepage actually says:

> The AMP Project is an open-source initiative aiming to make the web better for all. The project enables the creation of websites and ads that are consistently fast, beautiful and high-performing across devices and distribution platforms.


I think amp in spirit, practice and implementation is an attack on the open web.

I understand how it works and Your arguments so far aren't changing my mind.

Thanks for posting the homepage text, for posterity.
