Googlebot will soon speak HTTP/2
- zingplex 6y agoGiven that site speed is used in ranking and the different performance profiles of HTTP/1 vs HTTP/2, I assumed they would be doing this already.
- phillipseamore 6y agoI wonder if someone has taken advantage of this. Responding with one site for search indexing over HTTP/1 and another over HTTP/2 (which most users would actually get).
- jtsiskin 6y agoCouldn’t you just use the user agent if you wanted to do this? Or does google crawl without revealing itself?
- GauntletWizard 6y agoGooglebot is a well known user-agent, but they do verify with impersonation. It's a heavy penalty (usually delisting) for serving them noticeably different content (there's of course leeway, because sites are dynamic)
