Re:The HTTP/2 implementation

The first time I load the page in Chrome (45), the HTTP/1.1 test takes 3–5 seconds but subsequent refreshes take about 1.5s, so there must be some caching or connection keep alive that probably invalidates this test. HTTP/2 is always less than 1 second.

I think the caching makes it more like a real world scenario and even with it the benefits of HTTP/2 are notable.
I noticed something similar when this was posted before, but after refreshing the page a bunch of times and noting how long the resources took in Chrome Inspector, it looks to me like the CDN just occasionally takes a really long time (like, several seconds) to serve one or two images, which can easily throw the results one way or the other if it happens.
