HTTP/1.0 was published in 1996, followed by HTTP/1.1 one year later.

For 18 whole years, this was the standard used for practically the whole web throughout the world, improving performance with various hacks such as asset bundling, CSS sprites, icon fonts, and so on.

Then came HTTP/2.

And now, only a few years later, even when HTTP/2 adoption has not reached 50% yet, HTTP/3 will shortly be introduced.
