No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    I tried it when AMP was a “must have” but it’s just adding problems to your site. All the work you make on your site to give a good experience for your users is broken by AMP rendering. SEO is worst and the product helps only Google to make money on your work. Don’t install it, choose a light theme and put your effort on the theme.

    Despite having so many developers, this plugin is incredibly unsuccessful. It is quite poor compared to its competitors. It doesn’t even work with the most popular themes and plugins, constantly having compatibility issues. It’s nowhere near usable at the moment.

    Haciendo comprobaciones me he dado cuenta que el fallo lo da este pluging y se ha solucionado desistelandolo pero ahora tengo la web sin amp porque no hay muchas opciones en pluging AMP y la velocidad de mi web a caido. 🙁 This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by mariaax.
