Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) in Drupal 

Google’s search ranking algorithm was updated in 2015 to reflect a critical factor in user experience: mobile accessibility. More than half of all searches in major markets such as the U.S. and Japan happen on mobile devices, so Google began ranking webpage results with mobile layout and design higher than non-mobile pages to give their users the best possible experience. 

Now there’s a way to enhance the user experience for mobile devices without having to completely redesign a site. This method is convenient for publishers and it’s built on existing HTML standards. Site owners who want to provide users a good experience on mobile devices can now serve pages in the accelerated mobile page, or AMP, standard. Google designed the AMP standard and open-sourced the project in 2015. Drupal siteowners can download and install the AMP module for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.  

This post covers the process of downloading, installing and configuring the AMP module for a Drupal 7 site.
