/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 17, 2017) - Mobify®, the #1 provider of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for ecommerce, today announced early-access availability of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) for customers of the Mobify Platform. Mobify has launched AMP for commerce pages with existing customer Lancôme. Early results show a four times faster load time for AMP pages -- from 4 seconds down to 1 second. A new strategic partner case study launched today by Google details Lancôme's Mobify-developed approach to delivering a high-conversion, app-like experiences on the mobile web. 

"What Mobify has done is magic," says Lancôme Vice President of Digital Marketing & Ecommerce Malik Abu-Ghazaleh. "With our internal mobile benchmarks showing that our site is even faster than Amazon, we're confident shoppers discovering products from search engines are now getting the best possible first impression from our site."

With studies continuing to show the correlation between mobile website speed and conversion rates, the Mobify Platform leverages the two latest technologies for speed -- AMP and PWA -- combining them with optimization best-practices to achieve the fastest speeds available on the market. Mobify has already seen PWAs deliver mobile web speeds up to four times faster than adaptive or responsive web approaches. AMP for commerce extends speed even further by enabling pages to load almost instantly from search results.

"Most retailers are struggling with flat or declining organic search traffic," explains Mobify Chief Product Officer Peter McLachlan. "AMP turns the tide by promoting results for organic search terms to the top of the search engine result page."

Mobile shoppers clicking through from Google search typically experience slow initial page load times, causing customer drop-off before the page even loads. With AMP for commerce, versions of a website's common landing pages are cached on Google's servers, allowing those pages to be previewed directly in search results and load instantaneously. The Mobify approach to PWAs allows retailers to launch AMP variations of common landing pages with minimal effort, so that shoppers discovering products from search engines receive the best first impression when interacting with their brand.

Lancôme's mobile site takes advantage of Mobify's unique approach to making mobile shopping friction-free. The new Lancôme site is a finalist in the Mobile Commerce category for the Internet Retailer Excellence Awards being held June 7 at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago.

Additionally, Mobify is showcasing Lancôme's site, along with the new Mobify Connector for Salesforce Commerce Cloud, at the Salesforce XChange conference in Las Vegas May 16-17. The conference will feature a presentation, The Beauty is in the Details: Lancôme's High-Converting Mobile Commerce Strategy with Lancôme's Abu-Ghazaleh and Mobify's McLachlan.
