Get Amped for AMP

Great news! Our initial AMP page tests, announced by Paul Edmondson a while back, went very well. The Amazon changes required in order to test on a wider range of pages were successfully executed. We began testing AMP via eligible articles on TatRing last week.

Initially, author Google Analytics will not be included on AMP pages to comply with European GDPR regulations. So don't be alarmed if your personal Google Analytics shows a decrease in traffic. We are working on a solution, as always.

Check out the official blog post for more information about AMP and how it may affect you!
