2019.03.20

News Release

Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE 1st Section 6048) has added support for AMP (Amplifier), which speeds up page display speeds, to improve usability for smartphone users on its store review and ranking site "Ekiten."

AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is a project being developed by multiple companies, led by Google, to speed up mobile page display, allowing web pages to be displayed instantly on smartphones. When a page is AMP-compatible, the information on the page is cached in advance on Google's servers, drastically reducing the time it takes to display the page when accessed from a smartphone device.
Ekiten's store information page display speed has increased, allowing users to have a smoother store-finding experience on their smartphones. In addition, by allowing users to see more information, stores can expect to attract more customers.

Ekiten will continue to strive to provide a variety of new features and services in order to "make users' lives more discoverable and enriching."
