Key advantages of HTTP/2 as compared with HTTP 1.1

Published: February 8, 2018

---

HTTP/2 provides decreased latency to improve page load speed by supporting:

    Data compression of HTTP headers
    Server push technologies
    Loading of page elements in parallel over a single TCP connection
    Prioritization of requests

An important operational benefit of HTTP/2 is that it avoids the head-of-line blocking problem in HTTP 1.
