HTTPS (SPDY) is faster than HTTP

This website is basically a fancier version of https://http2.golang.org/gophertiles

While cool, both websites are making an unfair comparison to the way that HTTP/1.1 is normally deployed for such sites, as neither demo uses hostname sharding.

I noticed that for https in chrome the images load (mostly) in order, whereas for http they're loaded in random order. However in firefox both cases load in order.

Why does chrome load resources in random order in http?

As the one who submitted this link... I'm curious why HN didn't simply point me to the original post? Sorry for double-posting :-\

Had you used an identical URL, it would have. Beyond that, we leave the dupe detector fairly porous so that good stories have multiple chances to get attention.

Better duplicate detection is one thing we hope to work on fairly soon.

Firefox HTTP: 3.239 s Chrome HTTP: 11.209 s It cheated...

In chrome I get http: 3.2-3.9s, https: 1.8-2.6s. Try it a couple more times, maybe it was a fluke.

Edit: And for firefox: http: 2.6-3.8, https: 2.9-3.8.

Edit2: Changed times to ranges.
