Web Developer Notes
In this blog you will find articles about web development in general, including topics related to JavaScript, HTML and CSS, PHP, and WordPress. Occasionally, I also publish a few articles outside the web development field — for example, posts about radio and related topics.

Most of the articles are based on my personal experience gained while working on commercial web development projects. My goal is to document practical solutions, interesting cases, and useful techniques that I encounter during real-world development.

In 2015, Google introduced Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) as a solution to slow-loading websites on smartphones. The idea was simple: website owners would create a separate, stripped-down version of their pages using a limited subset of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These pages could be cached by Google and delivered much faster than regular web pages.
