Improve your page experience with AMP and Cloudflare Workers Unbound

What's this blog post about?

The blog post discusses how to improve page experience of AMP pages by using AMP Optimizer in Cloudflare Workers. It highlights the importance of a great user experience on the web, which includes factors such as loading speed, responsiveness, and content stability. Core Web Vitals are introduced as a new way to measure user experience on the web based on real-world data. The post explains how AMP ensures good page experience by providing guardrails that help avoid common performance pitfalls. However, it also notes that some performance best practices required for performing well on Core Web Vitals can't be implemented at client-side and need to be done on the server. To address this issue, the AMP team has created AMP Optimizers, which will automatically perform common performance best practices for you. The post introduces a new integration of AMP Optimizer for Cloudflare Workers, making it easy to serve optimized AMP pages on your own origin. It also explains how the Cloudflare Worker works and its benefits, such as automatic preloading and responsive images out of the box. Finally, it mentions that Web performance is complex, and users should do their own performance testing on their own sites.
