SPDY is compatible with HTTP/1.1 semantics, and is actually just a different way of performing HTTP requests and responses, by using binary frames instead of a text-based protocol. -SPDY also allows the server to send responses without needing -a request to exist, essentially enabling server push. +SPDY also allows the server to send extra responses following +a request. This is meant to allow sending the resources +associated with the request before the client requests them, +saving latency when loading websites.
