We compare the performance of SPDY and HTTP in a variety of setting using a controlled tested study. We rely in publically available software and run with mostly default configurations. It is not our aim to extract every last bit of performance out of either SPDY or HTTP. Rather, we are interested in understanding how various mechanisms used by the two protocols affect page load times. This report
