## Overview

HTTP/2 is a binary protocol that supports multiplexing HTTP requests, resulting in significantly faster page load times -- up to 2x faster. It is supported by all modern browsers.

## Activating HTTP/2

HTTP/2 requires an SSL certificate (see [[do-i-have-an-ip-address-for-ssl]]). It is available on [[determining-platform-version]] and newer. No additional configuration is needed beyond having a valid SSL certificate installed.
