What can your organization gain by adopting HTTP/2? How about faster, simpler, and more robust websites and applications? This practical guide demonstrates how the latest version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol can dramatically improve website and application performance. You’ll take a deep dive into HTTP/2 details, and learn how this updated protocol is changing the web landscape.

HTTP/2 support for browsers, servers, proxies, and content delivery networks
How the performance of sites using HTTP/2 compares to their HTTP/1.1 experience
