Google on Tuesday announced the Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) technology to Gmail in order to make emails a lot more engaging and interactive for the users. For the past years, Google has been working to make mobile pages load faster through the AMP open-source framework. The AMP technology started to help publishers, but as its capabilities started to expand over time, it’s now one of the best ways to build rich web pages.
The new specs of AMP to Gmail will be a more powerful way for developers to create more engaging, interactive, and actionable email experiences.
