Time To Go HTTP2 and Speed Up future Growth

Sites are getting bigger, offering more features, more rich media and users are demanding a more immersive experience from websites. Digital Marketers and UX want better performance, more tracking, deeper insight, more customer touch points and better optimization. All this means better quality images, more video, more CSS, more javascript, more cookies and a host of other libraries. So where do we draw the line? Something has got to give, which is speed.
