Features of HTTP/2
- Multiplexing: Multiplexing allows several requests and responses to be sent over a single connection, which improves performance by reducing connection overhead and improving network resource utilization.
- Binary Protocol: Unlike HTTP which is a text-based protocol, HTTP/2 uses a binary protocol, which reduces data size and improves efficiency.
- Server Push: HTTP/2 allows servers to “push” responses into client caches rather than waiting for a new request for every resource.
- Backward Compatibility: HTTP/2 is backward compatible with HTTP.
- Decreasing Round Trip Time: HTTP/2 decreases extra Round Trip Time(RTT), allowing your website to load faster without any optimization.
- Increase Throughput: HTTP/2 reduced network latency and increased throughput.
- Provide Security: HTTP/2 supports response prioritization, flow control, and good handling of Transport Layer Security(TLS).
What is HTTP/2?
HTTP/2 is the new version of HTTP, which transfers data over the Web. HTTP/2 is important for transmitting data from client to server over the web. Over time, various developments were made to enhance web protocols’ efficiency, performance, and safety. HTTP/2 provides various features to transmit data over the internet or web. In this article, we were going to discuss HTTP/2.
