#HTTP 1 vs HTTP 2

This is demo dashboard which fires up 54 SSE streams simultaneously to a given server.

The purpose of this dashboard is to demonstrate and compare HTTP 2 connection optimisations.

With the new binary framing mechanism in place, HTTP/2 no longer needs multiple TCP connections to multiplex streams in parallel; each stream is split into many frames, which can be interleaved and prioritized. As a result, all HTTP/2 connections are persistent, and only one connection per origin is required, which offers numerous performance benefits.
