“This is a somewhat unspectacular set of results. The anemic growth trading profit means the firm must keep a tight grip on costs, whilst they remain confident Travel insurance will continue to see demand, despite the drop in value of the pound making holidays abroad for UK consumers more expensive. ”

AMP“Beyond AMP — We know AMP pages are fast. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SUBSEQUENT PAGES THE USER VISITS?

Currently when users click on a link in the AMP page, a new tab opens, and the destination page is loaded there. In our case, the mobile web version of the destination page is loaded. WE WANT THAT EXPERIENCE ALSO TO BE AS FAST AND CONSISTENT AS THE AMP EXPERIENCE.”
