Thanks. We changed to that from https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2017/ju....

You can get faster results by emailing [email protected]. Not to mention more reliable; I only saw this randomly just now.

Mods: please make this the canonical link; AMP links force mobile layouts which are suboptimal on desktop.

AMP links break apps on mobile too, the Guardian app tries to open guardian.com links, but AMP breaks that.

Mind you, stories load faster via AMP than the app, but still.

Incidentally, I wondered whether the Guardian has blocked the site or did something stupid, since the page took so long to load. I thought AMP stands for ACCELERATED?

Edit: Actually, repeated loads take exactly as long (seven full seconds); but the scrollbar already has the correct page size. Probably some buggy scripting.

Why would anybody want AMP link on a PC? I am fuming with hate on AMP. This should be made the link instead of the current one.

AMP-on-the-desktop: It looks kinda weird but it loads super fast!

As someone who opens most links in new tabs (particularly when scanning the HN front page), my reaction was "Wow, that finished loading really fast!" based entirely on how long it took the favicon to replace the spinner in the tab.

It actually rendered very slowly here.
