HTTP/2 is the new version of the HTTP protocol that is used to transfer data across the web. The current version, HTTP 1.1, became a standard in 1997.

Several years ago, Google set out to address some of these shortcomings by developingSPDY, a protocol that modifies HTTP to improve page load times.

Why adopting HTTP/2 should be a priority in 2016
