[13]HTTP2_Blog_V1r3

We are happy to announce that we are now offering HTTP/2 support to all
clients using our [14]Website Firewall (CloudProxy) product.

Our own site already supports HTTP/2 (including this blog) and we will
be rolling out HTTP/2 to all account dashboards very soon. We have
always supported SPDY (the HTTP/2 predecessor) and decided to upgrade
to HTTP/2 now that it is stable and supported by most browsers.

What is HTTP/2?

HTTP/2 is the second major version of of the HTTP protocol that has
been in development for the last few years. It is based on SPDY (a
protocol by Google) and provides many improvements over the old
HTTP/1.x that most of the websites use today, specifically related to
performance.

At a very high level, these are the main changes over HTTP/1.x:
* HTTP/2 is binary and more efficient to parse.
* HTTP/2 is fully multiplexed. It allows the client to use one
connection for parallelism and performance.
* HTTP/2 header is compressed (HPACK) (much smaller).
* HTTP/2 allows the server to send resources to the client that have
not be requested yet. Great for caching resources.

The latest releases of Firefox and Chrome already support HTTP/2 and
Microsoft and Apple will be supporting it very soon.

HTTP/2 Performance

HTTP/2 really does what it says and improves performance
[15]significantly for most web sites. It is the future of the web and
you can start to benefit from it already without having to re-compile
your web servers or wait for your hosting company to do so.

If you are a client, just go to your dashboard under
"Settings->Performance" and set HTTP/2 to "on". If you do not see
HTTP/2 on your end (just enable SPDY) and when it is ready for your
account it will be automatically switched to HTTP/2.

It is great to be security focused, but providing great performance to
sites at the same time is also a must!
