HTTP/2 Support Test
Test whether a website supports the HTTP/2 protocol for improved performance and efficiency. HTTP/2 offers significant advantages over HTTP/1.1 including multiplexing, header compression, and reduced latency.
About HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol that brings significant performance improvements over HTTP/1.1:
Performance Benefits:
- Multiplexing: Multiple requests over a single connection
- Header Compression: Reduces overhead with HPACK compression
- Server Push: Proactive delivery of resources
- Binary Protocol: More efficient than text-based HTTP/1.1
Why It Matters:
- Faster page load times
- Reduced server resource usage
- Better mobile performance
- Improved user experience
Educational Note: HTTP/2 requires TLS (HTTPS) in most browsers for security. Modern web servers like nginx, Apache, and CDNs typically support HTTP/2 when properly configured. Testing HTTP/2 support helps ensure your website delivers optimal performance to users.
