HTTP, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the stateless request-response application protocol that clients and servers use to exchange web resources.
HTTP/2 is the second major version of the HTTP protocol, carrying requests as binary frames over multiplexed streams on one TCP connection.
HTTP/3 is the third major version of HTTP, carrying web requests over QUIC and UDP to avoid head-of-line blocking and speed up connection setup.
HTTPS is HTTP carried over an encrypted TLS connection, protecting web traffic against eavesdropping and tampering and authenticating the server.
QUIC is an encrypted, multiplexed transport protocol running over UDP that underpins HTTP/3 and reduces connection setup time and head-of-line blocking.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the protocol that encrypts and authenticates connections between clients and servers across the Internet.
A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is the standardized address that identifies a resource on the internet and states how and where to retrieve it.
