Millions of smartphone users are not very satisfied from mobile web while the page loading on the search engines is very slow and clunky. Well, Google decided that now is the time to stop that thing.

Moreover, the project is open source so you can find the source code, examples and documentation on GitHub. That framework is used by WordPress, The Wall Street Journal, The New Word Post and other publishers. It is mentioned that is 4 times faster and it consumes 10 times less mobile data even if the website includes animations, slideshows, videos and big images.
