SSL Testing HTTP/2 & Brotli Compression GTMetrix updates!

Good news GTMetrix.com fans, they are updating their services to support latest Chrome and Firefox browsers finally https://twitter.com/gtmetrix/status/689573262456594433 !

They are currently using Chrome 36 which doesn't support HTTP/2 and older Firefox 39, so the update will allow for both HTTP/2 testing as well as Brotli compression algorithm testing

 

Looks like 2 out 5 Vancouver GTMetrix servers have been updated https://twitter.com/gtmetrix/status/692159660254691329

Personally, haven't been able to git the new Chrome browsers on Vancouver GTMetrix so far heh

edit: hit Chrome 47 browser and it's very very slow compared to Chrome 36 - 29.2s vs 2.1s

same happens with Firefox 43 much slower than Firefox 39





32.1 seconds !

 

Confirmed with google.com test on GTMetrix Chrome 47 taking 11.5 seconds !

 

Yeah Firefox 39 and Chrome 36 are the older browsers. The ones are Firefox 43 and Chrome 47 both are much slower

 

Looks like it's an issue with throttling on GTMetrix with their newer Chrome 47 and Firefox 43 browsers. http://twitter.com/gtmetrix/statuses/692440219241545728

on unthrottled Chrome 47 http vs https + Firefox 43 https

 

not exactly, if browser doesn't support brotli it just falls back to regular gzip/zlib deflate like normal

 

Looking much better now

Chrome 47 Cable 5Mbps



Firefox 43 Cable 5Mbps
