Except, perhaps, for multitasking techies and the last few people using dialup connections, load times aren’t a huge deal from a user perspective; the average page appears before most folks think to click on anything else.  Still, Google looks set to make a lot of friends with the introduction of a research project dubbed SPDY ("speedy").<\/p>\n

A post on Google’s Research Blog<\/a> gave a little background by stating, "SPDY is at its core an application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web.  It is designed specifically for minimizing latency through features such as multiplexed streams, request prioritization and HTTP header compression."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for how that translates into a measurable effect, the post later tied in the "speedy" name and relayed a key point by adding, "[W]hen we download the top 25 websites over simulated home network connections, we see a significant improvement in performance – pages loaded up to 55% faster."<\/p>\n

A savings of 55 percent is huge, of course – something that every user would notice.  And site owners might be able to take advantage of the SPDY boost by packing more interesting stuff onto every page.<\/p>\n

So, per the SPDY team’s request, look its documentation<\/a>, inspect its code<\/a>, and provide feedback<\/a> if you can.  SPDY’s not ready to make a mainstream debut, but bringing it to that point is almost certainly in everybody’s best interest.<\/p>\n
