Accelerated mobile pages for Joomla

wbAMP automatically creates and advertises to search engines an Accelerated Mobile Pages version of your web site content.

Sample accelerated mobile page created with wbAMP
As of September 1st, 2022, wbAMP is discontinued. The AMP technology is on its way out and most users are progressively phasing it out, while Google itself no longer requires it for SERP features such as Top Stories or News carousels.
The extension will be in security mode only, meaning only security issues will be fixed going forward, for existing subscribers.
It is no longer possible to purchase or renew wbAMP subscription.
 
AMP is the latest recommended and open-source technology from Google to present content to mobile users. Google indexes Accelerated Mobile Pages and present them to mobiles users when they search on the main Google search page, in Google News and both the iPhones and Android search apps.
Here is how an AMP page looks like (best viewed from a mobile device, but totally fine as well on a desktop). This page was automatically created by wbAMP from our blog regular Joomla! page you can find here. It passes the syntax validation test as well as the Structured Data test.

Automatic conversion

Your Joomla pages are converted on the fly to Accelerated Mobile Pages HTML markup. Any page. Any extension. wbAMP also fetches require metadata automatically for com_content and K2. You can also set meta data manually with simple tags in your content.

Extensive content handling

Common media or social content such as images, sound tags, Youtube videos, Instagram images, Tweets, Facebook posts, or even AMP carousel are converted.

Easy page selection

Simple, but powerful, rules to decide which pages should have an AMP counterpart. NEW: standalone mode, for AMP-only web sites.

Working contact form

Your AMP pages must be as interactive as possible: with wbAMP, your Joomla contact form will work the same on AMP!

Manual customization
