If you want to add AMP functionality to your WordPress website, you&#8217;ll need a WordPress AMP plugin, which is what we&#8217;ve collected in this post.<\/p><p>We&#8217;ll start with a brief introduction to AMP and its pros and cons. Then, we&#8217;ll jump straight into the best AMP plugins for WordPress.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is AMP? Should You Use It On WordPress?<\/h2><p>AMP &#8211; short for Accelerated Mobile Pages &#8211; is an open-source project from Google that tries to speed up page load times for mobile visitors.<\/p><p>To do that, AMP pages use a stripped-down AMP code framework. Additionally, Google caches AMP pages for visitors from Google Search which can further speed up load times (<em>other companies can offer these caches, too, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2017\/03\/08\/933397\/0\/en\/Cloudflare-Announces-Ampersand-the-First-Open-AMP-Cache-to-Give-Publishers-More-Control-of-their-Mobile-Optimized-Content.html\">Cloudflare offering a white-label AMP cache option in 2017<\/a><\/em>).<\/p><p>So, should you use AMP for your WordPress site?<\/p><p>Well, that depends&#8230;<\/p><p>It&#8217;s pretty well shown that AMP will speed up your mobile page load times &#8211; that part isn&#8217;t in question.<\/p><p>Additionally, mobile visitors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-resources\/data-measurement\/mobile-page-speed-new-industry-benchmarks\/\">want fast page load times<\/a>, and there&#8217;s some evidence that moving to AMP can increase time on site and decrease bounce rate. For example, Events Ticket Center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perficientdigital.com\/insights\/our-research\/the-canonical-guide-to-amp\/event-tickets-center-case-study\">noted these trends after moving to AMP<\/a>:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>10% decrease in bounce rate<\/li><li>6% increase in pages\/session<\/li><li>13% increase in average session duration<\/li><li>100% increase in eCommerce conversion rate<\/li><\/ul><p>At the same time, AMP hasn&#8217;t worked for everyone. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/kinsta.com\/blog\/disable-google-amp\/\">Kinsta saw their leads drop by 59%<\/a> after moving to AMP.<\/p><p>So &#8211; this is really something you need to test for yourself! All of these AMP plugins for WordPress are easy to set up, so give them a try, pay attention to your analytics data, and see if they move the needle in a positive direction for your site.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Best AMP Plugins For WordPress Compared<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/amp\/\">AMP<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/Best-WordPress-AMP-plugins-AMP.png\" alt=\"Best WordPress AMP plugins - Official AMP for WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-987445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/Best-WordPress-AMP-plugins-AMP.png 800w, https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/Best-WordPress-AMP-plugins-AMP-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/Best-WordPress-AMP-plugins-AMP-768x249.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p>The creatively named AMP plugin is the official AMP plugin from WordPress.com and Google.<\/p><p>This plugin is 100% free and super easy to use &#8211;
