TOKYO – June 27, 2023– Prime Strategy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, “Prime Strategy”) is pleased to announce that its Ultra-fast CMS platform “KUSANAGI” now supports HTTP/3 (QUIC).
Why we chose to support HTTP/3
As the data volume of communication over the Internet, including websites, applications, and videos, continues to grow, high-speed communication is necessary to achieve a stress-free user experience.HTTP/3 is the latest HTTP protocol for high-speed communication and uses a technology called QUIC developed by Google.
HTTP/3 was introduced by Facebook and YouTube, which require a large amount of communication. However, the environments in which it could be used were limited (*) because Nginx and Apache, which are used in many servers, were not yet supported.
*Some CDNs supporting HTTP/3 and environments using LiteSpeed as a web server, etc.
We have made progress with Nginx, the web server used by KUSANAGI, and have added support for HTTP/3 as a standard feature. Users can now easily build a web environment that supports HTTP/3.
This is one of the results of our roadmap for “even faster speeds”.
We expect to contribute to the spread of HTTP/3 and to expand the use of KUSANAGI.
HTTP/3 Performance and Benefits
When we use HTTP/3, we can expect faster communication, especially for high-traffic sites and resource-intensive websites and web services such as videos and images.
Google states on its Developers blog that with QUIC, search time is reduced by more than 2%, YouTube rebuffering time is reduced by more than 9%, and client throughput is increased by more than 3% on PC and 7% on mobile.
Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
