This is now followed by the WordPress decision to implement AMP WordPress plugin and support the AMP’s “Instant Article like format” in its sites.

Around 25 percent of the sites in the web are hosted in the WordPress platform. This feature will be available for sites such as TechCrunch which are hosted on WordPress. For self-hosted sites that are using the WordPress application, Accelerated Mobile Page can be enabled by installing a WordPress plugins.

However, you will have to think twice before installing the WordPress plugin or enabling AMP WordPress in your WordPress blog websites. Because, it will remove certain plugins and widgets that you have added in order to optimize the time it takes to load the webpage.

On the other hand, WordPress made an impressive move by enabling Accelerated Mobile Page in its sites in a few hours after the announcement by Google earlier this day.

It’s always a good decision as a blogger if you want your website to be AMP-enabled. But you will be keeping certain elements of your WordPress blog website at risk when you add AMP without doing any homework.
