"Google has released experimental work of a protocol that tries to speed
up the web. It's called SPDY, prononunced "speedy"."

"SPDY is an experiment with protocols for the web. Its goal is to reduce
the latency of web pages."

SPDY: An experimental protocol for a faster web
"As part of the "Let's make the web faster" initiative, we are
experimenting with alternative protocols to help reduce the latency of web
pages. One of these experiments is SPDY (pronounced "SPeeDY"), an
application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web, designed
specifically for minimal latency. In addition to a specification of the
protocol, we have developed a SPDY-enabled Google Chrome browser and
open-source web server. In lab tests, we have compared the performance of
these applications over HTTP and SPDY, and have observed up to 64%
reductions in page load times in SPDY. We hope to engage the open source
community to contribute ideas, feedback, code, and test results, to make
SPDY the next-generation application protocol for a faster web."
