@NaheedSep 23.2020 — @VITSUSA#1623427 The main advantage of HTTP/2 is its enhanced speed over HTTP/1.1. HTTP/2 is more compact travel faster 'on the wire, and is less susceptible to errors. It has also effective network resource utilization and has capabilities of compression, prioritization, flow control, etc.

Yes, my website is HTTP/2 and the speed is significant higher than my old HTTP/1.1 site.

It was confirmed by this: https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test

For fun I have tested (using PageSpeed Insights) random webpages and found a common ground of higher speed rank of sites using HTTP/2. So my assumption is that this will impact both SEO and UX for sure.

@criterion9Oct 06.2020 — We upgraded to use HTTP/2 a couple years ago. One of the fringe benefits we found was being able to only send "old browser" hacks to older browsers. Nearly all of the extra libraries and things we were adding to support older browsers were not needed for anything able to connect over HTTP/2 so we don't include any of those for the upgraded connections. Additionally, we also use the push feature of HTTP/2 to initiate download of supporting assets immediately (css, images, etc) which reduces the perception of load times for end users. I can't say specifically the speed difference found when we moved to HTTP/2 as that was not the only factor involved that would impact speed results that we implemented at the same time.

Success!
