A few days ago I posted about server push and SRI and the fact that they’re currently not compatible. In this post, I gave a brief synopsis of server push, which I’ll repeat… HTTP/2 is pretty clever, for example allowing one TCP connection to be utilised by multiple concurrent downloads, which means there’s less delay waiting…
Server push and SRI not compatible
SRI, or Sub-Resource Integrity, is a new-ish technology that I’m a big fan of. It’s something that’s so easy to implement, especially if you’re using a workflow tool such as Gulp, but also so powerful when referencing third party or CDN-hosted libraries, to avoid inadvertent or breaking changes.
