Delivery Hero reports lower latency after HTTP/3 rollout
Technology · First reported 30 Oct, 20:00 · Updated 10:18
Delivery Hero moved 95% of its users to HTTP/3 and reported faster response times, including a 17% reduction in home-screen end-to-end response time. The rollout required changes to Android networking, and the company is working with Cloudflare on latency issues affecting some secondary screens in packet-loss-prone markets.
- Delivery Hero said moving most users to HTTP/3 cut the home screen’s end-to-end response time by 17%; it reported a 10-fold improvement in P95 read latency, from 1.2 seconds to 120 milliseconds.
- The company moved 95% of users to HTTP/3; devices unable to use it, often because their networks blocked UDP traffic, fell back to HTTP/2.
- Some secondary screens remained slow in markets prone to packet loss. Delivery Hero attributed the issue to Cloudflare’s HTTP/3 congestion-control choice and said it was working with Cloudflare on a fix.
