Much has been said about the benefits of using HTTP/2 instead of HTTP1.x, but the proof the the pudding is in the eating. Today we’re going to perform a few real-world tests, perform some timings and see what results we can extract out of all this.
If you haven’t read about HTTP/2, may I suggest you have a look at a few articles. There’s the HTTP/2 faq which gives you all the nitty gritty technical details whilst I’ve also written a few articles about HTTP/2 myself where I try to tone-down the tech and focus mostly on the why and the how of HTTP/2.
