Non-HTTP/2 Resources

Priority: Critical

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

If a website is still using HTTP/1.1, it may suffer from several performance drawbacks compared to HTTP/2:

  • Increased Latency: HTTP/1.1 handles requests sequentially, leading to increased latency due to head-of-line blocking, which results in longer loading and wait time.
  • Higher Overhead: HTTP/1.1 sends headers uncompressed, leading to more data being transmitted.
  • Inefficient Resource Loading: Lack of multiplexing and prioritization can result in inefficient resource loading and slower page rendering.

How do you fix it​

Upgrade to HTTP/2: Ensure your server supports HTTP/2 and configure it to serve your website over this protocol. Learn more about HTTP/2.

What is the positive impact​

  • Improved Load Times: HTTP/2’s multiplexing and header compression reduce latency and load times, leading to a faster user experience.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: More efficient use of network resources reduces bandwidth consumption, which is beneficial for both servers and clients.

  • Better User Experience: Faster and more efficient resource loading improves the overall user experience, making the website feel more responsive.

  • Future-Proofing: Adopting HTTP/2 ensures your website is using modern web standards, making it easier to implement future performance optimizations and features.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
    $crawlId: ObjectID!
    $reportTemplateCode: String!
    $after: String
   ) {
      getReportStat(
        input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
      ) {
        crawlSiteSpeedAuditOpportunities(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
          nodes {
            opportunityDigest
            element
            title
            auditId
            exampleUrl
            urlCount
            protocol
            failedAuditsCount
            warningAuditsCount
            infoAuditsCount
          }
          totalCount
          pageInfo {
            endCursor
            hasNextPage
          }
        }
     }
   }
