CloudFlare to Increase Site Load Speeds with HTTP/2 Support

streamingThe HTTP/2 protocol, launched in February with the goal of enhancing speed and efficiency of Web traffic, is getting a major boost with support from content distribution network CloudFlare. The new protocol “will be available by default to all the company’s customers, more than doubling the adoption for the fledgling Web standard,” reports The Verge. “The most noticeable result for users will be faster page speeds. HTTP/2 won’t make pages significantly smaller, but the same data will require fewer round trips to the server, cutting load times by as much as half in some tests.” While browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari already support HTTP/2, the protocol so far accounts for a small percentage of the overall Web.
