How and Why You Should Enable HTTP2 on Web Servers

Bringing about a new alternative to performance hacks that don’t have developers bending over backwards to improve page loads speeds, IEFT’s Working group gave netizens HTTP/2 in 2015. HTTP/2 introduces significant improvements over the previous versions of the HTTP protocol, including but not limited to enhanced security features. Apart from removing the need for time-consuming performance optimizations, it is also resilient to header compression attacks that could, in turn, lead to session hijacking. It gives us a simplified yet efficient framework that is easier to parse, more compact, and less error-prone.
