You see nearly 90% of this improvements already for years with SPDY. SSL with HTTP 1.1 was really slow before Google, FB etc. starting using SPDY years ago. So comparing HTTP 1.1 with SSL to HTTP/2 with SSL seems legit for me.
- rplnt 11y agoI thought HTTP/2 was going to be SSL only? Or was that other protocol?
- therealmarv 11y agoSPDY only runs encrypted. The HTTP/2 specification allows it to run without encryption https://http2.github.io/faq/#does-http2-require-encryption https://http2.github.io/faq/#does-http2-require-encryption But most of the browser vendors will only allow to use it with encryption (see footnotes here): http://caniuse.com/#search=http%2F2 http://caniuse.com/#search=http%2F2
- magicalist 11y agoNote that the caniuse data is slightly wrong. All browsers only support HTTP/2 over TLS. (there's an issue to fix that on the caniuse github repo: https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/issues/2098 https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/issues/2098)
