More than 25% of the world’s websites now use WordPress. Many people are already enjoying its merits. But on the other hand, large-scale sites have begun to wonder if they can use it, too.

We hope to further develop KUSANAGI to make one of WordPress’ merits “high speed”.

About HTTP/2

HTTP/2 is compatible with the current HTTP protocol, except it makes the session layer more efficient with an improved version of SPDY. It was developed by the standards organization Internet Engineering Task Force. HTTP/2 is a protocol designed to speed up HTTP with adding new features such as methods and headers.

About Let’s Encrypt

It is a service designed to automatically register a free SSL certificate for your site. With Let’s Encrypt, a complicated process is finished in one fell sweep. And subsequent updates of the certificate are also performed automatically. Let’s Encrypt makes SSL available to every user.
