What is HTTP/2?

HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP protocol that improves performance through multiplexing, header compression and server push, reducing latency compared to HTTP/1.1.

Modern sites increasingly adopt HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (over QUIC) to deliver faster, more efficient page loads.

How to interpret the HTTP/2 results for kubernetes.io

If kubernetes.io negotiates HTTP/2 (h2), it benefits from multiplexed connections and lower latency. Falling back to HTTP/1.1 may indicate older server configuration.

The response time reported for kubernetes.io gives a quick indication of how fast the server responds over the negotiated protocol.
