A plugin for Facebook’s Instant Article was released yesterday by the WordPress.com VIP team and will be open to any publisher starting April 12, 2016. Instant Article for WordPress is now available on GitHub and will be available soon to the WordPress plugin directory. Publishers must perform review process in order to ensure that their posts are properly formatted and articles will load instantly on mobile devices once approved. As Facebook stated, the speed is 10 times faster than the standard mobile web. Instant Articles plugin does not have built-in options for serving ads and further customization will left up to the publishers. Instant Articles is not yet available to WordPress.com users but they will explore something in the future.
