Follow on Google News | Radware’s Alteon® NG Helps Provide Fastest Website AccelerationRadware combines an integrated HTTP/2 gateway with its leading Fastview technology to boost website acceleration up to 40% for a smarter HTTP experience
By: Radware Radware’s FastView technology is now able to predict the resources that a user will require when they visit a website, capitalising on HTTP/2’s ‘server push’ feature to push objects from a page to a browser before they have been requested. HTTP/2 is the latest protocol replacing the previous version, HTTP1.1, which has been in use since 1999 and is rapidly aging. Today’s websites now include hundreds of elements such as JavaScript, images, high definition videos and Flash animations. These elements place a huge load on both the server that deliver the content as well as the end user’s browser. The processing power required to serve these elements can lead to slowdowns – negatively and critically impacting web experience. “The industry has been watching the progress of HTTP/2, particularly its efficient use of resources to reduce latency and deliver a better, faster web experience,” Recognising that HTTP/2 will soon be the standard protocol for access to the Internet, Radware has embedded an advanced HTTP/2 gateway into its Alteon NG application delivery controller. Radware’s gateway for the HTTP/2 protocol offers backwards compatibility with legacy servers and browsers that can only support HTTP 1.1, without an upgrade of the front-end web application server or long development and testing cycles needed. “HTTP/2 adoption has been slow due to an intensive replacement process of front-end web servers,” said Kent Alstad, vice president of acceleration for Radware. “Due to this investment, enterprises have been challenged, and even hesitant, to make this update - however, HTTP/2 is critical for optimal web performance. The adoption of this protocol is quickly becoming imperative – and soon won’t be optional.” With Radware’s latest gateway, HTTP/2 enabled browsers can enjoy all acceleration capabilities of the new protocol as it seamlessly provides support for the HTTP/2’s efficient new header compression capability, significantly reducing the payload of HTTP transactions. The solution also enables flow control and prioritisation of transactions, for optimised page downloads and user experience. Radware is the first to leverage the HTTP/2 new capabilities as a vehicle to deliver various WPO (website performance optimisation) End
