Code walkthrough on using Cloudflare workers to improve the performance of sites using Google Fonts. The improvements can be quite dramatic and the sample provides a real-world use case of doing streaming HTML modification in a Cloudflare Worker.
Optimizing HTTP/2 prioritization with BBR and tcp_notsent_lowat
Getting the best end-user performance from HTTP/2 requires good support for resource prioritization. While most web servers support HTTP/2 prioritization, getting it to work well all the way to the browser requires a fair bit of coordination across the networking stack.
The Road to QUIC
QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is a new encrypted-by-default Internet transport protocol, that provides a number of improvements designed to accelerate HTTP traffic as well as make it more secure, with the intended goal of eventually replacing TCP and TLS on the web.
