Oh, I see what you mean. The relationship doesn't work both ways, and the benchmark might lead one to believe it does.

- tokenizerrr 9y agoSo it's a http2 vs http1 benchmark. Not a http vs https benchmark?
- CiPHPerCoder 9y agoRight. HTTP/2 is only available with TLS, due to browser policies, so it necessarily requires TLS. This means you need HTTPS if you want the performance wins of HTTP/2. This doesn't mean that HTTPS is a performance win if you're still using HTTP/1.1. However, the "performance overhead" for TLS is negligible in practice.
- tptacek 9y agoYes, so there are two major changes you'd need to get this performance benefit, not one, and if you just make the TLS change, your performance will (probably marginally) suffer, not improve. It's a bogus comparison.
