| I've set up a test with Apache 2.4.18 Win64 and PHP 5.6.18 running parallel with Apache 2.4.10 Win32 and PHP 5.5.18 (which is running a live site). Both Apache is serving the same site (duplicate files). I've been testing http/2 (quite a lot) on 2.4.18 for speed with webpagetest.org. On basic pages with just a couple of images the speed is pretty much the same. But on a page with 30 images around 15KB each http/2 is much slower. http/2 is at best 7.5 seconds but normal http/https is both 4-4.5 seconds. And that's on both Apache. I've tested with both Chrome and Firefox on webpagetest.org and the result is the same each time. This server is on a 4mbit internet connection, can that be a factor? I've tried searching the internet but "everyone" is saying http/2 is/will be much faster... Does anyone have any thought? Any experience? |

| Apachelounge is faster since it uses HTTP/2. Of cause that works only if the browser / test client can make use of KeepAlive and HTTP/2. The first request can be slower since the browser can to perform the offered Upgrade from HTTP/1.1 to 2 |
