No, http2 is not better. We actually did the tests. We're not quite Google-scale, but having to handle tens of thousands of requests per second put us in the 'high load' camp.
- jayd16 8y agoWhat was the issue? Why was it worse?
- otabdeveloper2 8y agoThe extra CPU load for our balancers (nginx) didn't translate into any benefits for the user in performance or user experience. We ended up spending CPU cycles for no benefit. Basically, HTTP/2 is tuned for a very specific case of Google traffic which pretty much never happens in places that aren't Google.
