Google developing faster Internet performance using SPDY protocol

<!–Ads1–>

Google from the first moment of its existence has been focused on enhancing customer experience across different platforms, and now it’s focusing on developing and releasing an Operating System (see my previous post).

At the same time however, employees in a different department are focused on developing a new protocol that will be able to handle data transfer from websites at a faster rate, using less bandwidth, resulting in a faster and more responsive Internet.

During tests across top 25 websites while simulating home network connections, Google was able to improve loading time by 55 percent.

This is a sign of the continuing development of the Internet, constantly being reformed and improved, with large organisations like Google reshaping our online experience as we know it.

Of course, it won’t be a straightforward and seamless transition. It will take time for website owners to transfer across to the new protocol, but with such high promises of speed and efficiency, it won’t take long for it to start happening.

After all, Apple’s iPod and iPhone have both quickly become well known across the world as the MP3 player to have and respectively the mobile phone to develop for, with many designing software and websites to cater to its users. On a similar note, Android, a Google production, is quickly becoming a powerful device on its own with many applications already proving its worth.

It is definitely worth keeping an eye on its progress and seeing how Google’s experimentations continue. What do you think, will SPDY become the new HTTP successor?
