SPDY protocol support implemented in Google services

True, so far support has been implemented only in those that use an SSL connection. This was stated by representatives of the corporation at the conference O'Reilly Velocity. Actually, this protocol began to be developed by Google back in 2009, but now, it seems, this project really "goes to the people." It is worth recalling that SPDY is an application-level protocol for transmitting web content, which allows you to significantly speed up the loading of web pages and individual elements. Google Inc. is positioning its development as a worthy alternative to the HTTP protocol.

The developers claim that this protocol can reduce the load on web pages (tested on the example of 25 heavily loaded sites) by about 28-43%, in the case of a 2 megabit DSL channel, or 44-55% in the case of a broadband 4 megabit connection. Reducing page load times depends on several factors, including the level of SPDY support and the use of SSL.

The corporation says that this protocol is not an innovation, it uses many technologies that allow you to speed up the loading of pages. But these technologies are optimized, combined and "arranged in a certain order." To speed up the loading of web pages, multi-threaded queries, data ranking by channels, prioritization of control channels and data channels, and other methods are used.

One of the leading developers of SPDY, Mike Belshe, stated in May that he was working on finalizing the SPDY specification. The technology itself, as mentioned above, was announced by the corporation in 2009, and since then developers have been improving this protocol. It was also recently announced that Google services using SSL already support this protocol. In addition, SPDY support is included in the products of some companies, including Vancouver-based Strangeloop Networks. Google Chrome also supports this protocol.

The development team believes that SPDY will not be released to the people soon, since the massive introduction of this development takes time (and above all, the desire of companies to use SPDY in their products).
