Improving the speed of your website should be a constant priority. And you don’t need to browse an infographic to understand this. HTTP/2 provides the much-needed opportunity to improve the experience of your subscribers as it is the latest version of Hypertext Transport Protocol. Basically, it is how websites are delivered to your computer and the new version, HTTP/2 makes this even faster.

The difference between version 2 and 1.1 is that the new version uses multiplexing, the simultaneous command for various files such as music, pictures and documents. While version 1.1 uses a single connection, version 2 is faster and a preferred choice for faster and more secure websites.

Faster loading can enhance the experience of users. But, it does have some prerequisites:

• Your server must support all of the features of HTTP/2+
• You must have an encrypted HTTPS connection through SSL
•  Your browser must support HTTP/2

HTTP/2 is supported by 79% of worldwide browsers and here’s a list of browsers that support it:

• Versions 49+ of Google Chrome
•  Versions 10+ of Safari
• Version 11 of Internet Explorer
• Version 50+ of Firefox
• Versions 43+ of Opera
• Versions 14+ of Microsoft Edge

The efficiency in loading websites makes HTTP/2 a great way to improve customer experience. Plus, it’s a great way to increase and retain your website traffic. Who doesn’t want more web traffic?
