- A deprecated networking protocol that was developed primarily at Google for transporting web content. SPDY (pronounced “speedy”) manipulates HTTP traffic, with particular goals of reducing web page load latency and improving web security. SPDY achieves reduced latency through compression, multiplexing, and prioritization, although this depends on a combination of network and website deployment conditions. Throughout the process, the core developers of SPDY have also been involved in the development of HTTP/2, SPDY’s successor. ← Wikipedia
