SPDY, a protocol Google revealed in late 2009, dramatically speeds up Web page loading by changing the way that browsers communicate with servers. Until now, Google has only tested the research project internally and deployed it on a few of its own sites. But today, the protocol launches as a commercial product.

Users on overclock.net are reporting 1080 videos on youtbe and other site are working MUCH MUCH faster now thanks to this. I'm trying it out now as well.

The server itself must support this for it to work, right ?

Firefox 5 gets speedy (not SPDY)
Jun 17, 2011, 00 :01 UTC (3 Talkback[s]) (3836 reads)

"As opposed to Firefox 4 which introduced a new UI, tab panorama, jetpack, sync and apptabs, Firefox 5 sure does feel a bit 'light' on the big features side.

"It does however have at least on amazing under the hood feature that will make Firefox 5 the fastest Mozilla browser ever. Unfortunately Mozilla's product people haven't chosen to productize the feature name but that doesn't make it any less important.

"Sort Idle HTTP Connections by CWND - is a new Firefox 5 feature that I personally see as Mozilla's open web response to Google's SPDY, though they are a bit different. SPDY is focused on TCP optimizations while Firefox 5 is a bit more specific to HTTP."

You can use it with chrome right away actually. Type chrome://net-internals in the address bar and go to the SPDY tab for info. I'm not sure how to make it work in FF.

I understand it's enabled on Google sites only right now (gmail etc). Can't say I've noticed the speed difference.
