Malthe Høj-Sunesen I didn’t believe you so I checked the page source, found these tags:
<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js“>
<script async custom-element="amp-analytics" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-analytics-0.1.js“>
<script async custom-element="amp-ad" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-ad-0.1.js“>
