Impact of HTTP/2 on Site Speed & Page Experience
HTTP/2 is a protocol for governing the communication between a browser making a request and the server that contains the requested information.
Search Engine Journal contributor Ruth Everett has published an article highlighting the impact of HTTP/2 on website speed & page experience.
She says, “My favorite way to understand HTTP requests is Tom Anthony’s truck analogy.
Basically, a truck represents the request from the client to the server, and the road the truck travels along is the network connection.
Once the truck carrying the request from the browser reaches the server, it will load the response and carry it back to the browser.
HTTPS adds a layer of protection to these responses, to ensure no one is able to look inside of the truck to see what it contains, for example, personal data or sensitive information”.
