Did you know that, on average, smartphone users touch their screens 2,617 times a day? There are about 5.19 billion smartphone users in the world. The percentage of users with respect to the total population is 67%, and while the use of desktop computers has decreased considerably, mobile devices are present in 51.3% of internet use. This is why it is not surprising that Google has responded to the growth of mobile browsing with the launch of the AMP Project or Accelerated Mobile Pages. In short: AMP was designed so publishers could build web pages that load faster on mobile devices.
