-title: Server Push and Server Hints
----
-
-In order to deliver resources to browsers more quickly, SPDY employs two
-mechanisms, Server Push and Server Hint.
-
-### Server Push
-
-Server Push is where the server pushes a resource directly to the client without
-the client asking for the resource. The server is making an assumption here that
-pushing the resource is desirable. Pushing a cacheable resource can be risky, as
-the browser might already have the resource and the push can be redundant.
-
-Specifications:
-
-* [SPDY Specification](/spdy/spdy-protocol)
-
-Server Hint
-
-Server Hint is a mechanism where the server can notify the client of a resource
-that will be needed before the client can discover it. The server does not send
-the entire contents of the resource, but rather just the URL as an early part of
-a response. The client can then validate its cache (potentially even eliminating
-the need for a GET-if-modified-since), and will formally request the resource
-only if needed.
-
-Server Hint is implemented using the LINK header with HTTP, and overlaps with
-existing link prefetching semantics.
-
-Specifications:
-
-* [LINK rel=prefetch from
- Mozilla](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ)
-* [LINK
- rel=subresource](/spdy/link-headers-and-server-hint/link-rel-subresource)

-<td>Server Push</td>

-* <td> Lowest Latency Delivery Mechanism</td>
- * <td>Saves 1 round-trip</td>
-
-* <td>If the client already has the resource cache, the load is
- wasteful</td>
-* <td>The Application must decide if it should push the resource, the
- protocol cannot know whether the client has a resource</td>
-
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td> Server Hint</td>
-
-* <td>Provides early discovery of critical resources</td>
-* <td>Can include etag or last-modified information to avoid
- over-the-network cache validation checks</td>
-* <td>Allows the client to participate in cache validation before
- sending the resource</td>
-
-* <td>Still requires a round-trip between the client and server to
- fetch the resource.</td>
