I have the latest Apache installed and currently support HTTP/2. Can I setup SPDY and run it together with HTTP/2?
The goal is to also take advantage of the SPDY for browsers that do not support HTTP/2.
Thanks.
I was interested in installing the SPDY mod for apache2, in order to improve the speed / latency of my website.
My major question is : does all the websites on my dedicated server will have to switch to SSL, or will SPDY be enabled only for the SSL enabled website ?
I hope it'll not mess up all my production website.
I'm currently running a lot of configuration benchmarks on my server using siege, and I would like to try the SPDY protocol (with mod_spdy for Apache) - but siege use HTTP.
Do you know any tool which would allow me to compare my website performance in a high concurrency environment with and without SPDY?
I'm trying out mod_spdy and I've run into a problem - it seems to be incompatible with AJAX requests and mod_php as in this: https://www.modspdy.com/blog/2012/04/15/using-mod_spdy-with-php/
The solution seems to be to run php scripts through fastCGI. Now my first question is, why is that? Is there maybe some sort of a workaround? Is this incompatibility just temporary? I would not want to switch the whole production server to fastCGI just because of this. What would be the advantages/disadvantages of that?
Also, I do not understand why it needs https. Why can't a simple, let's say static, website gain speed from mod_spdy? I'm looking for plain speculation here - do you think mod_spdy will be sometime available without the mod_ssl requirement, or is the architecture so different that I should not expect it at any time?
I hope I'm expressing my thoughts clearly. Thank you for your thoughts.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Google SPDY on Apache? http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/
I run a couple of web servers and am interested to know if there have been any issues with the mod_spdy Apache module and if anyone has seen a visible speed increase in SPDY supported browsers?
