HTTP/3 (with QUIC)

HTTP/3 uses QUIC, which is a secure-by-default transport protocol. HTTP/3 improves page load times in a similar way to HTTP/2. However, the QUIC transport protocol solves TCP’s head-of-line blocking problem, meaning that performance over lossy networks can be better.

  2. Select your account and zone.
  3. Go to Speed > Optimization.
  4. Go to Protocol Optimization.
