Robin Marx is a Web Performance and network protocol researcher at KULeuven, Belgium. He is mainly looking into HTTP/3 and QUIC performance, and develops the qlog and qvis tools to make this easier. In a previous life he was a multiplayer game programmer and co-founder of LuGus Studios. YouTube videos of Robin are either humoristic technical talks or him hitting other people with longswords.
After almost five years in development, the new HTTP/3 protocol is nearing its final form. Let’s take a close look at the challenges involved in deploying and testing HTTP/3, and how and if you should change your websites and resources as well.

After almost five years in development, the new HTTP/3 protocol is nearing its final form. In this second part, Robin Marx will zoom in on the performance improvements that QUIC and HTTP/3 bring to the table for web-page loading. We will, however, also be somewhat skeptical of the impact we can expect from these new features in practice.

Why was it needed so soon after HTTP/2? How can or should you use it? And especially, how does it improve web performance? Let’s find out.
