http2 not detected...

By Lighthouse or https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test

I opened a ticket with my hosting provider, and this is one of the answers they gave me:

Thank you for contacting support.

I've confirmed that the HTTP2 module is installed and enabled on your server

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[root@orlando2 ~]# apachectl -M | grep http2
http2_module (shared)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I believe the reason that website is not detecting it - is due to your Apache running on a non standard port "444" due to the Nginx reverse proxy. As opposed to a more standard port "443" which many 3rd party tools would check.

To confirm this I ran a "openssl s_client" command specifically querying for HTTP2. Here you can see ALPN responds with "h2", which stands for HTTP2. So your sites do support HTTP2 as intended.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[root@orlando2 ~]# openssl s_client -alpn h2 -connect fortrockfarms.com:444 -status 2>&1 | grep -A8 "New, TLSv1.3"
New, TLSv1.3, Cipher is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
Server public key is 2048 bit
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE
ALPN protocol: h2
Early data was not sent
Verify return code: 0 (ok)

As for the site slowness, unfortunately we are unable to replicate that on our end. I visited the website with a only proxy to confirm and it loads within a few seconds. Additionally I reviewed your server performance, and CPU/MEM/IO are all within optimal levels.

I feel like that my websites are NOT passing both tests, that something may not be set up correctly?

cPRex I'm hoping your still around and can help with this!

I tried to open a ticket, but was unable to.

Thanks for any help you can provide. This is a whole new cloud server I recently spun up.

Sincerly,

-Joe

Hi,

If your server is using Nginx reverse proxy, there is an additional step you need to take to enable http2 for Nginx. We have more information about this below:

How to enable HTTP2 globally for EA-Nginx

Regarding the website slowness, I'd suggest checking the Apache and Nginx error logs to see if any limits are being reached. If the domain is using PHP-FPM, I also recommend checking the PHP-FPM global logs, as those would mention if the domain is reaching PHP-FPM limits.

I'll include information on the log file locations below:

Common Log File Locations

Where are the global PHP-FPM logs located?

Thank you for all that. I'll get to reading.
