Leveling up Web Performance with HTTP/3
On 11th February 2020 at RVU as part of LWP February: What’s new in HTTP
HTTP/3 is a newest version of the protocol that powers our web interactions. It's similar to HTTP/2 but addresses performance problems on lossy networks by virtue of the new transport protocol QUIC. This talk will provide a brief overview of these new protocols in comparison to what came before, show you the state of HTTP/3 implementations today, and look at how we can assess their impact on web performance.
