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.
