DO App Platfrom http2 and server response time issue

Posted on August 6, 2021

There are two issues we are facing on our App platform website after running the google lighthouse.

We are looking to upgrade from HTTP to HTTP/2 as described in the Google lighthouse report. https://web.dev/uses-http2/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=devtools

How can we implement HTTP/2 on the DO App platform?

Also, how can we reduce the server response time?

Any lead and help will be appreciated.

Hi there,

UPDATE: Quick update here! App Platform now supports the HTTP/2 protocol. This allows you to use gRPC, multiplexing, and other HTTP/2 features.


I have just tested this with one of my static websites and it seems to have HTTP2 enabled. Here is a quick check is done with an online HTTP2 checker:

I believe that as long as you have HTTPS enabled HTTP2 should be in place as well.

Let me know how it goes
