HTTP/2

Configure HTTP/2 support to improve connection efficiency and reduce latency for supported clients.

HTTP/2 improves content delivery performance by allowing multiple requests and responses to be multiplexed over a single connection. This reduces latency, minimizes connection overhead, and improves page load efficiency for supported clients.

You can manage HTTP/2 in the Medianova Control Panel.

Navigate to the relevant CDN Resource and open the Protocol Optimization section.

  • This setting affects client-to-CDN communication only.

  • Origin communication behavior is not modified by this setting.

Benefits

  • Reduces connection overhead.

  • Improves page load performance.

  • Reduces latency for websites with many assets.
