Yet another reason to not get rid of HTTP in the HTTP+HTTPS world just because it's hip and what big companies are going.
- ev1 5y agoThis is an old article. 0RTT TLS 1.3 + QUIC is on par with HTTP usually, based on our RUM/telemetry.
- superkuh 5y ago0RRT only applies to connections after the first load. And what cloudflare does is certainly not what most people on the internet (as opposed to most mega-corporations) should do.
- Grimm1 5y agoThat's a really bad take on HTTPS. HTTP helps to enable a bunch of trivial but damaging attacks on an end user. If you run anything maybe more complicated than a static blog, and even then for your own security, HTTP is the wrong choice.
