the other server is 2x faster even without http/2
My wget implementation does not suppot http/2
HTTP Server:
$ time wget https://1153288396.rsc.cdn77.org/http2/tiles_final/tile_18.png
[...]
real 1.038 user 0.038 sys 0.007 pcpu 5.37
HTTP2 Server: $ time wget https://1906714720.rsc.cdn77.org/http2/tiles_final/tile_18.png
[...]
real 0.539 user 0.045 sys 0.009 pcpu 10.01
of course that's just latency.. but this is hardly a scientific demonstration.We should also consider the fact that this is cherry picking the worst trait of HTTP/1.1 and that's that it's latency sensitive.
A demo with a real webpage of large assets would be a better example.
