HTTP/2 is the second major revision of the HTTP protocol developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force. By enabling HTTP/2 on MaxCDN you can take advantage of binary framing, multiplexing, and header compression. These features are designed to help you deliver content faster, more efficiently, and more securely. This tutorial will explain the process of enabling HTTP/2 on a MaxCDN zone.
