Google AMP – a framework that optimizes an existing page for mobile use and serves it from the Google AMP cache – promises to make it easier for users to access and interact with your content when they are on mobile devices.
This framework achieves major Search Engine Optimization (SEO) goals by speeding up page load times, thereby increasing user satisfaction, especially for students who are mobile-dependent. But is Google AMP a good fit for higher ed content?
In this presentation, a developer and a content strategist will present iFactory's current Google AMP projects and suggest approaches tailored to institutions of higher education.

AMP is coming to improve the mobile web. Big time.
There are many aspect to a great user experience on sites.
In order to improve the speed of the media websites on mobile and the monetization, we needed few things:
1. Fast pages. Fast to load, fast to display, saving bandwidth when possible.
2. Easy for the developers and companies to create. Only based on known and widely used technologies.
3. Mobile Friendly: they should respect a standard and thanks to this standard, pages would be automatically optimized for mobile devices
4. Embrace the open web: non-proprietary technology, open source, available to anyone to use and improve. It should not only help for search engines, but for everyone.
In these slides, we will cover AMP and what it can do for you.

Amp up your Site with Accelerated Mobile PagesBrian McKeiver
My presentation from South Florida Code Camp 2016 on Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). SFLCC was in lovely Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Google started AMP as an initiative to dramatically improve the performance of the mobile web. The main approach that AMP employs is placing HTML on a diet, in an attempt to gain breakneck speeds, for loading content on our mobile devices. This new open-source based framework throws out the standard approach to loading bloated CSS and JavaScript libraries and instead becomes a lean, mean superfast machine. Join me to find out what exactly are Accelerated Mobile Pages, what do they mean for search, and how can you prepare for it on your website?
[WEBINARIO amdia OM Latam] Mobile friendly: el nuevo algoritmo de Google y el...OM Latam
Desde el 21 de Abril Google comenzó a hacer un roll out de su nuevo algoritmo de búsqueda que permite reconocer los sitios que son “mobile friendly”. Así es que Google penalizará a aquellos sitios que no estén optimizados para dispositivos móviles, en tanto que mejorará el page rank de aquellos que sí lo estén.
“Como cada vez más gente usa dispositivos móviles para acceder a Internet, nuestros algoritmos tuvieron que adaptarse a esos patrones de uso”, explicó Google en su comunicado oficial. Y ahora las páginas web deberán adaptarse, al menos si no quieren ver desplomarse todo el trabajo que han venido haciendo en SEO.
Durante el webinario hemos repasado:
● el alcance de este nuevo algoritmo de búsqueda (que es aún mucho mayor a los cambios que vinieron con Google Panda y Google Penguin),
● presentaremos cuáles son las mejores opciones para migrar un sitio que no es mobile-friendly
● Veremos los principios del web design responsive (WDR)

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Short for Accelerated Mobile Pages
A framework that allows you to code web pages to be
twice as fast on mobile devices
Takes your already existing page, optimizes it for mobile
use, and serves it from the Google AMP cache.

AMP?
7. ResearchWhat is Google
AMP?
From the User Perspective
AMP may best be explained by how news
outlets use it.
Search for a phrase, like “football,” and Google
draws attention to AMP pages with a lightning
bolt.
When you click, AMP serves a faster mobile
version of a “regular” web page, even if it is
heavy on visuals
8. ResearchWhat is Google
AMP?
From the Technical Perspective
A slimmer version of your website pages built with three
core components:
AMP HTML
Mostly made up of regular HTML tags with the
introduction of AMP-specific HTML tag replacements
AMP JS
Must make use of contributed and centrally managed
custom elements to build out your page
AMP Cache
Fetches AMP pages to serve them from a proxy-based
CDN. Also provides validation to ensure pages are
guaranteed to work and don’t reference external resources

19. RAMIFICATIONS OF
AMP & HOW WE
ADDRESS THEM
The AMP framework is limited to Google
Solution: AMP is controversial for this very reason. Google has
a large market share, but increases in traffic in general, plus
brand awareness, could impact your ranking on other
engines.
Google also claims that it is working to turn AMP into a
universal standard accessible via any search engine … but
Google is still flying the plane.
20. RAMIFICATIONS OF
AMP & HOW WE
ADDRESS THEM
Possible duplicate content penalties because AMP
generates a second URL of the same content in mobile
Solution: Add “canonical” tags to the AMP page to tell
Google that it should add the AMP visit to the analytics for
the main page.
21. RAMIFICATIONS OF
AMP & HOW WE
ADDRESS THEM
The caching system means that content might not be
refreshed -- this could be a big problem for pages that
include deadlines and other admissions info
Solution: There are methods to flush the AMP Cache in order
to update your pages. While you can script this process, it
should be done on an as-needed basis.
It is also recommended to AMPlify static content rather than
content that is often updated or modified to ensure your
visitors are seeing the important information.
22. RAMIFICATIONS OF
AMP & HOW WE
ADDRESS THEM
Your team may need to update two different versions of
content, leading to extra work for team members
Solution: When properly implemented, your content
creators shouldn’t have a problem, but AMP is not a plug-in,
and it may mean more work for your team..
But you need to make sure that the AMP version of the page
isn’t so different from the usual that users feel they are
missing out. Also, Google may ding you if you have an AMP
page that is significantly different from the original.
24. ● The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health
Sciences (MCPHS) wanted to optimize landing pages for
their major paid search initiatives.
● We met with them to start with four pages, two of which
became templates.
● Field page (Pharmacy) (template for all field pages)
● Program page (Doctor of Pharmacy) (template for all
program pages)
● Academics page
● Request for Information form
CASE STUDY
25. CASE STUDY
● Justine, our producer, worked with the client to create
sketches to show what would and would not be
included on the AMP version of each page.
● They sent us a desktop version first, and we converted
them to a mobile format so they had the full story.
● These sketches helped us prioritize what should be on
the page for business purposes and what could be
removed to ensure a faster load time.
● The process also helped unearth design questions so
the AMP page looked similar to the main page (like
CTAs)
28. CASE STUDY
● The client asked us to create a proof of concept page to
ensure that UTM parameters could be passed from an
AMP page to a form and stored successfully in Salesforce.
● The proof of concept page was based on the home
page, which Google had AMP’d before the client worked
with iFactory.
● Then iFactory’s developer worked with Google and the
client to implement the analytics code to make sure
that Salesforce could capture the parameters.
29. CASE STUDY
Even after we figured out how to pass data to Salesforce, we
still learned a few things regarding the front-end code:
● iFactory had a tough time coding the accordions on the
chosen pages to keep the content sync’d between the
AMP and non-AMP pages
● We had to make sure the front-end code was light
enough to meet AMP standards
● Finally, the RFI form required more complex AMP
coding because of fields and dropdowns
And we did it!
30. CASE STUDY
● iFactory QA’d the final product, going with mobile
browsers only since AMP pages are designed for mobile
users.
● The site just launched, but we will check in with the
client to find out how well the new AMP pages
performed and how the new pages affected their paid
search campaign.
31. Case StudyMCPHS
The Final Result
Now that MCPHS has implemented AMP on the chosen
pages, the AMP doodad shows up if you search for
MCPHS-related terms, like “mcphs academics” using
Google on mobile.
33. OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS:
SITE SPEED FIRST,
AMP SECOND
● A discussion about Google AMP is a discussion about site
speed and getting your content to end users as
efficiently as possible.
● Consult with your team regarding other page-load
improvements, such as image and file optimization and
code re-evaluation.
34. OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS:
PREPARING TO AMP
● Inform the client of the pros and cons so they aren’t
swayed by trends reported by Google (Google came to
MCPHS first!)
● Confirm that your client’s CMS is suitable for the
project
● Create a proof of concept, especially if the client has
already set up their campaigns
● If that works, launch a pilot AMP project targeting a
single template or 5 to 10 static pages
● Also choose uncomplicated pages in the first place --
only specific AMP elements are allowed in the first place
35. OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AMP AFTERMATH
● Implement and track changes over a certain time
period
● If the changes meet your standards, implement AMP for
more pages
● Make sure you have the staffing so your team can follow
up, A/B test, and/or improve content or development
after launch
● Speaking after launch, keep checking your Search
Console and your site to make sure that site editors
aren’t doing anything that would interfere with AMP
36. OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS
What AMP is good for
● Clients whose site traffic comes mostly from Google or
mobile
● News pages or static pages
● Pages with minimal forms (no dynamic dropdowns)
What AMP is NOT good for
● Pages that are often updated
● Pages with complex forms
● Pages where complex design is required

marketers in your world may get excited about it
