HTTP2 is coming. The first update in 16 years

HTTPHTTP2 is coming and the benefits are mostly performance related. 
 
The new standard brings a number of benefits to one of the web’s core technologies, such as faster page loads, longer-lived connections, more items arriving sooner and server push.   One notable change is that HTTP requests will be 'cheaper' to make.
