Video of the Week: Performance–HTTP2 in a 1.5 world

For some time now at our conferences we’ve been covering HTTP2, the first major update to HTTP since, well, just about the start of the Web.

Its widespread adoption came more quickly than just about anyone might have thought, and now the majority of the world’s browsers, and more recent versions of servers support it.

But we still have a significant percentage of users using the older HTTP1.1 (fortunately servers fall back automatically, so there’s no extra work to do to serve both via HTTP1.1 and HTTP2) and this does have some performance implications. Confused? No need to be. Peter Wilson makes sense of it all in this week’s presentation from our recent Respond conference Performance–HTTP2 in a 1.5 world.
