Question Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMS): Does it impact SEO?

[hilleug61]

Definition of AMP is that -
"It is a project backed by Google - with a goal to load static content faster for mobile users by pre-rendering the page in Google Search. AMP HTML is a stripped down version of your normal webpage source code, which means that JavaScript features which are not part of the AMP library will not work."

searchenginejournal says and I quote - "AMP has essentially overhauled the core elements of how websites structure their mobile pages. It’s broken down into three sections:

1. AMP HTML: A redesigned version of HTML includes a new set of custom AMP related commands.
2. AMP JS: A new Javascript structure for mobile pages that allows all loading of external resources asynchronous.
3. AMP CDN (Content Delivery Network): This will take your AMP-optimized content and cache them for fast delivery."

Google Mobile Update and Google Hummingbird stresses on the faster loading websites! So does it mean that AMP helps webpages to rank higher in the SERP for a given keyword as they are align with the Google Updates?

So here you go!
The ball is your court!
