Abstract

Introduction into the problem matter of the chapter. Overview of similar work (literature). Presentation of techniques of improving the performance of websites used in the HTTP/1.1 protocol and the problems they can generate in the context of the new possibilities of the HTTP/2 protocol. Description of the research stand and experiments. Discussion of the results of measurements of the speed of downloading websites using various techniques. Formulation of conclusions. The directions for further research were pinpointed.
