HTTP/3
HTTP/3 is the latest version of the HTTP protocol, engineered for even greater performance, especially on unreliable networks. It is built on a new transport protocol called QUIC instead of TCP. This provides faster connection setup times and more robust multiplexing that prevents a single lost packet from blocking other resources, making it a key technology for modern, high-performance websites.
