AMP: Accelerated Mobile Pages
AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages, a Google-backed project intended as an open standard for any publisher to have pages load quickly on mobile devices.
The AMP Project was formally announced on Oct. 7, 2015, with support from Google, Twitter, WordPress and several publishers and other companies.
Those using AMP will already have their pages load fast within Twitter, the company has said. On Feb. 24, 2016, Google integrated AMP listings into its mobile search results.
