Any expert ready to venture a guess on how fast SPDY could be adopted by most of the biggest websites on the net? Could it spread like wildfire when all the main browsers and web-hosting softwares adopt it, or are we talking about years and years (like getting rid of IE6)?
- arunoda 14y agoI hope it will be the same story as HTML5 (IE will took it after everyone) And SPDY will spread much more higher rate than HTML5. Because it is a little work to be performed at the website end not like HTML5. Hope within 1 year, it will be in a state where HTML5 today. BTW: I'm not a expert :)
- pilif 14y agoSPDY requires SSL and SSL for all intents and purposes doesn't work with name based virtual hosting (it doesn't for all versions of IE under XP and on Android < 4) due to the lack of SNI. Aside of a noticable hit in performance for the encryption work (some say insignificant which is probably true if you are google), enabling SSL is a considerable additional administrative hurdle both because of getting certificates (and keeping them fresh) and because of the requirement of needing one IP per domain. The latter problem is going to get worse as more sites want to go SSL and we're already out of unassigned IP addresses. If only we could have widely supported SNI. Then we'd back at only the performance issue (which is going to get less and less noticeable as our hardware gets better) and the administrative overhead for the certificate.
