This post announces the introduction of HTTP/2 support for all Cloudflare customers using SSL/TLS connections, while maintaining SPDY support. It highlights the performance benefits of both protocols, particularly multiplexing, header compression, and server push, and provides real-world data showing significant page load time improvements with HTTP/2 compared to HTTP/1.x and SPDY. The decision to support both protocols simultaneously is explained by the need to cater to the existing user base still heavily reliant on SPDY, while also enabling newer HTTP/2-capable browsers.
