Speedy: Speed Up with Google SPDY

Google will introduce a new web protocol called SPDY, which promises to reduce latency and speed up the web.

SPDY (pronounced " speedy " - speed) has no mission to replace HTTP, the familiar web protocol today which will be a great addition to HTTP. SPDY integrates a variety of features such as multi-threaded data delivery, data compression, and priority delivery modes. Google has also developed a web server model and its own Chrome version, supporting SPDY.

According to Google, page loading speed can be improved by 64%, when conducting a lab review with 25 of the world's leading websites today. Currently SPDY has been completed by a team of Google engineers, whether this new product is ready to "get into ".

SPDY ' speedy ' - the new web protocol will significantly improve the long-term web experience

The goal of this project is to reduce page load time in half, minimizing the problems that arise when deploying new technologies, especially for web designers. Instead, all important things will be handled with the client application and web server.

Google plans to soon introduce to the web community to receive contributions and feedback from users. The company will also soon release open source web server that supports SPDY. However, users and developers were able to access the source code of the Chrome browser version that supports SPDY here.

According to Google, the basic improvements of SPDY over HTTP include :

- Support multiple queries at once: No limit to the number of queries can be performed simultaneously on a single SPDY connection. Because queries are executed in a session interwoven on a single channel, so the efficiency of TCP is much higher.

- The queries are special. The client can perform queries on certain data sources, to be delivered first. This feature will reduce the load of common bottlenecks.

- SPDY supports data compression, saves bandwidth and reduces root toxicity, when clients can send data that has been " streamlined " significantly.
