Description

Bring the speed and features of the open source AMP project to your site, the WordPress way.

With the plugin active, all posts on your site will have AMP-compatible versions, accessible by appending /amp/ to the end your post URLs. For example, if your post URL is http://example.com/2016/01/01/amp-on/, you can access the AMP version at http://example.com/2016/01/01/amp-on/amp/. If you do not have pretty permalinks enabled, you can do the same thing by appending ?amp=1, i.e. http://example.com/?p=123&amp=1

Also, your pages and custom post types can have AMP versions. Simply check their boxes on the 'AMP Settings' page in /wp-admin.

Your entire site can render as "Native AMP" if your theme calls add_theme_support( 'amp' ). There will only be one version of each URL: the AMP version. There won't be separate URLs with /amp or ?amp appended. See this wiki page for details and restrictions.

Your theme can also use Paired Mode, with your own custom templates for the AMP URLs.

"Native AMP" and "Paired Mode" add full support for commenting and widgets.

If your theme doesn't support 'amp', this will use basic legacy post templates for AMP consumers like Google Search and Twitter. And when visiting the site, the AMP content won't normally appear without appending strings to the URL like /amp or ?amp.

Follow along with or contribute to the development of this plugin on GitHub. For more information on the plugin, how the plugin works and how to configure and extend it, please see the project wiki.
