Scrolling through my TL I saw a tweet from one of my favorite developer about a GDG Santa Clara meetup, i was not even excited about the topic because I did not know what it meant at that time. I was excited because I was going to interact with people of different culture, the time for the meetup was even 1am Nigerian time. Staying up was actually worth it because i learnt about an amazing tool which i'm going to talk about here.
First I'd start with talking about Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP), in case you have not heard about it before AMP is an initiative to create attractive web pages that load quickly on mobile devices which is originally developed by Google. It has a modified version of HTML ( AMP HTML), a JavaScript library (AMP JS) and a caching library (Google AMP cache). It is actually an open source project to solve the problem of slow-loading mobile pages.
