84% Faster page load times now available with http/2

Hi Guys

I thought I would share this with you, I offer a Managed Hosting solution for nopCommerce customers that want a more secure and faster solution than is generally available, and this last week I have been experimenting with the new http/2 protocol and it's absolutely wicked, taking an average 84% off the page load time, this is being offered by Cloudflare,

HTTP/2 is the first major upgrade to the HTTP protocol in over 15 years. Websites have changed dramatically in the interim, with the number of external image, CSS, and JavaScript assets growing by the year. HTTP/1.1 wasn’t designed for this kind of complexity. HTTP/2 is optimized for the modern website, improving performance without complicated hacks like domain sharding and file concatenation

, please see here for more information https://www.cloudflare.com/http2/ and here is one of our hosted nopCommerce 2.30 website using the new protocol, http://www.camalidesign.co.uk, if you would like information on how to get your website working at this speed, please do not hesitate to ask.

website working really fast with HTTP/2

Is this IIS 10 or something ? as only IIS 10 support http/2 that comes with Windows server 2016. My guess it's IIS 10 in Windows Pro 10 :)

Also, could you host the site with normal http/1 to compare the speed.

Hi Namvo

Thank you for your comments, I am using IIS8 and SQL 2012 R2, it's Cloudflare that does the work.

Hi Namvo

If I have time today, I'll try and set something up so you can compare between http/1 and http/2.

Hi Guys

For those of you that are not aware of Cloudflare CDN or what it does I thought I would post this link for you, so you could read all about the benefits you could achieve using the free service that they provide, and making your sites not only more secure but also improving your site's performance and improving your visibility on Google, it doesn't matter what version you are running, it will work with all of them, and no I do not work for them, nor am I an affiliate but I do think it is a marriage made in heaven, especially if you are serious about your online business.

Wow, site is really fast. Thanks for sharing information. I will shortly test this!

Thanks,

yes its faster as per the older version of the site.

Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Krunal

This will work great with your nop-accelerate, it would be very interesting to see the two working together.

Hi Ron,

Yes, that will be very interesting to see how it works together! Its going to be exciting. We're currently busy with something and will test this within 2-3 days.

I already reviewed the spec docs for http2 and the thing it tries to achieves it amazing. Someone who is not sure how this works and how this helps - should read this.

Thanks for sharing this information.
