Do you find that loading web pages is very slow,even after getting the fastest Broadband Internet connections?Well,many sites have to load so much content that they are ultimately very slow and you end up disgusted and using the “F” word more often than not. Well all this could change in the future with Google(who else)’s coming up with a new application layer protocol to transfer content over the web.

This new protocol named as SPDY (pronounced as SPeeDY) is designed to speed up the content movement over the internet and supposed to be awful lot faster than the familiar HTTP protocol.This speeding up will be done by minimising the latency(or simply put as minimising the time required to sent an empty message from the server to the client browser) through the use of multiplexd streams,request prioritization and header comparison.The SPDY is being developed by Google’s Chromium development team,who were responsible for the Chrome browser. If the sucess of the Chrome web browser is to be taken into account,the SPDY project will sure be the next big thing in the IT world.

Early research tests conducted on the top 25 sites indicate that the pages load 55% times faster than HTTP.That is a 2x Faster web.The SPDY was unveiled on 12th November with a post to the Google Research Blog. Check the link to find out more about SPDY.As for the web user,i think interesting times are ahead and hopefully we wont be tearing our heads off at how slow the website is,in the future.I really hope that Google develops this new protocol at the earliest and make it available to the Net community.

We applaud Google for this experiment.First the chrome browser,the chrome OS in the nearby future and now an all new protocol for the web,Google is going all out to improve the web experience!!!
