How many HTTP/2.0 servers are out there in the wild?

IIS in Windows 10 and OpenLiteSpeed support it now. Akamai too. nginx expect to have it ready this year. Apache is slower moving, but there will be third-party modules. Middle-layer services like CloudFlare would be stupid not to offer support while it’s still a hot new. That will drive adoption fast. My guess is that adaptation will be fast because of the drop-in-replacement performance benefits to pretty much any website and the top browsers (sans Safari and IE) already support it.

Supported clients include Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Chromium-based.

Anyway, we should not say bundles is faster when this will not be the case with HTTP/2 . The ‘new fast” is smaller chucks when you need them delivered by server-push (no round-trip) instead of larger blobs.
