Fun story about NoScript. I used to use AMP[0]. But I reverted that for two reasons.

1. The size of their js is ~170kb roughly 17 times larger than most of my pages.

2. It loads from a 3d party domain which means that NoScript/uBlock Origin users will see a blank white page.

The project does impose some constraints that will help reduce page weight and increase page speed, but for my page sizes it's ridiculous to use their JS.

The site certainly loaded fast. Never heard of them before. Thanks for the link.

Presumably this would be heavily cached or baked into the browser, though -- assuming AMP takes off.
