- The Challenges Ahead for HTTP/3 ()
If you’ve followed my series of posts on the benefits of HTTP/3 (QUIC) compared to HTTP/2 (TCP), by now you might think that these new protocols seem too good to be true. They improve performance, boost security/privacy, and are the perfect bedrock for future-proof experimentation and improvements in the years to come. Still, the protocols have […]
- Measuring HTTP/3 Real-World Performance ()
So far in this series, I’ve detailed how QUIC and HTTP/3 have overcome the security and privacy issues that plague the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and HTTP/2 in a future-proof way. In this post, I’ll look at how they compare when it comes to perhaps the most important feature of any protocol: performance. Comparing HTTP/3 […]
