Flipping the HTTP/2 switch was amazing for me -- I have a page that for reasons needs to load ~500 small images. Initially I was worried about having to figure out a sprite-based method to compile the images (which is not ideal because there are many permutations of which 500 images), but when I turned on HTTP/2, the overhead just disappeared. The images load instantly. I'm nowhere near the multi-k RPS metrics as above, but it was night and day for me even for individual requests.

Earlier years it made sense to spread content over multiple domains, like a CDN domain for static content. Now due to HTTP2, as much as possible should be served on the same domain to get the full HTTP2 effect.
