Server Push is a web communication technique where the server proactively sends resources to the client without the client having to request them, optimizing load times and improving user experience. It is commonly used in HTTP/2 to enhance performance by reducing latency and efficiently managing resource dependencies.

Proactively sends resources

A client is like a friend who asks for help or a service from someone who can provide it, like when you ask a teacher for help with a puzzle. The person or company helping the client tries to make them happy by doing their best job, just like how you feel happy when your teacher helps you solve the puzzle.

HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol that improves performance by enabling multiplexing of streams, header compression, and server push, which collectively minimize latency and enhance the efficiency of web communications. It is fully backward compatible with HTTP/1.1 and aims to optimize the way data is transferred over the internet, making web pages load faster and reducing resource consumption.
