  1. Here's a crazy idea, instead of modifying SERP rankings via a bunch of arbitrary technological requirements that don't actually guarantee any particularly good user experience... Don't do that. Don't do it. Just measure actual page performance. techcrunch.com/2018/03/08/google-promises-publishers-an-alternative-to-amp/

      I want to explain how stupid Google is here with a precise example so: As far as I see in this system implementing a bunch of arbitrary Javascript & cutting edge web tech will cause a higher ranking then the same content rendered entirely in a static page with no JS.

        I think we're bearing down on a real fundamental problem at Google here: which is they have no ability to understand or algorithmically parse what makes a good web experience. Even their measuring tools for page speed are flawed in a bunch of ways.

          Less is more. Measure with that principle in mind and we create a whole different web. Measure on the basis of how AMP-like pages are and we are going down into the shitshow waterfall tied to a log and hurtling towards endless spiked objects.
