Server Push supported on LiteSpeed Web Server

Server Push is a method of information delivery where a server pushes a resource directly to the client without first receiving a request to do so. By doing this the server can attempt to anticipate client requests and pre-push them into the client’s cache in an effort to avoid the usual request-response round trip delay.

Why we use CloudFlare? Cloudflare supports HTTP/2 Server Push with the Link header field on all plan levels. Cloudflare will look for the Link header field, as outlined in RFC 5988, in response headers from the origin server and extract URI-references with parameters rel=preload. These URI will be pushed to the client.
