AMP’d

English translation: Using AMP

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Bus/Financial - IT (Information Technology) / IT
English term or phrase: AMP’d
Can you expain the usage of AMP’d

Was the authoring using AMP as a verb? Is it the case that 'd=ed" ? i.e., AMP’d = AMPed? If not, what does 'd stand for?


The Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) open source project enables web publishers to build webpages that render very quickly. Given Drupal’s status as a popular CMS for some of the world’s largest websites, it was important for the AMP Project to ensure that Drupal-based sites had the ability to create AMP’d pages. To achieve this goal, the AMP team asked Lullabot to help create a module for AMP, and we were thrilled at the opportunity to draw on our open source roots and build something that would make the AMP HTML format accessible to Drupal publishers, empowering them to create mobile-optimized content once and have it load instantly everywhere.

Explanation:
I think AMP'd is a slightly awkward way of expressing it, because you have to pause for a moment to work out what they mean. You could also spell it AMPed, but this is not perfect either.

Explanation:
I've reviewed the official site of the project and it seems that AMP'd is an abbreviation of
"Accelerated Mobile Pages Project".
What I guessed is that "'d" used instead of "PP" to differentiate it from other exisiting products or services that use the abbreviation "AMPP".

agree  Björn Vrooman: "AMP'd" like "revamped"; I think this part of the text explains it best: "could make the AMP HTML format accessible to Drupal publishers"
