Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

HTTP/2 is the new generation of the venerable HTTP protocol that powers the web. Among its most powerful features is server push, a way for web servers to send resources to the browser before it even realizes it needs them. This avoids the usual HTTP request/response cycle which happened for every script or stylesheet on a page.

> rel="prefetch" header for every enqueued script and style as WordPress outputs them into the page source. Unfortunately, it can’t help plugins and themes that output their scripts directly into the page itself, but these will continue to work as they always have.

Requires a web server that supports HTTP/2.

WordPress 4.6 and above

6 introduced native support for resource hints.

6 and theme/plugin developers to responsibly prefetch the right assets. Sites running

on older versions of WordPress will continue to get the previous behavior where all JavaScript and stylesheets had resource hints

printed for them.

6 and above. To use it, add this line to

php file or a custom plugin:

`add_filter('http2_render_resource_hints', '__return_true');```
