AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages, which is an open-source HTML framework developed by the AMP Open Source Project. It was created by Google as a competitor to Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News, and it is optimized for mobile web browsing to help webpages load faster. AMP pages may be cached by a CDN, such as Microsoft Bing or Cloudflares AMP caches, which allows pages to be served more quickly. AMP was first announced on October 7, 2015, and after a technical preview period, AMP pages began appearing in Google mobile search results in February 2016.
It is important to note that "amp" can also refer to "ampere," which is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI) . In this context, an amp is one unit of constant electrical current, and "amperage" is the strength of that current, expressed in amps (or "amperes") .
