HTTP/1.1's successors - New features and performance considerations
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, the first new specifications of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol since 1999, promise to improve web browsing performance. This paper tries to summarize and evaluate the features and performance improvements HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 bring compared to HTTP/1.1. To do this, various research papers conducting experiments to measure HTTP performance were surveyed and put in context. The comparison of the surveyed papers showed that HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 show performance benefits in most cases but can also have a negative impact on performance in others.
