Normal websites use HTTP 1.1 which was released in 1999, 17 years ago and the web has changed a lot since then. Based on Google's SPDY protocol, HTTP/2 allows, amongst other things, native compression, security, concurrent connections and prioritization. This makes the connection much more robust than before.

HTTP/2 is supported with Apache 2.4.12 with the addition of the mod_http2 module. It is natively supported with Apache >2.4.17 without the mod_http2 module. In this article, we will focus on the latter.
