Oh, I don’t expect it to be so effective. (Perhaps that’s why John Gruber is the indie blogger, and the creator of markdown.)

Going back to accelerating pages in general, pandoc’s output is already very “accelerated”, meaning that it is very minimal and static.

Of course when you design a website, you will add your own js and css on top of pandoc’s output, and also add some banners / headers / etc.

The key of AMP is that they don’t allow js (apart from many other good practices). So you can mimic that too.

One interesting point is that if you use Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Search, etc., they insert js to your page. (I don’t study AMP enough to see how they handle this.). So do DISQUS, and Facebook/Twitter badges, etc. If you googled it, people has suggested not to use the official provided badges but create your own static one (just an image with link).

Another note is that if you want to include Math in your webpage, where pandoc can handles it well, you might want to avoid using MathJax but some other solutions. Good alternatives are the --webtex, or jgm/pandoc-tex2svg: Pandoc filter to convert math to SVG using MathJax-node’s tex2svg, which makes the equations static.
