I use a browser extension that shows the protocol that the site I'm visiting is using, by changing colour.

There are a load of them available for Firefox or Chrome, I think the one I am using is just called 'Protocol Indicator'.

HTTP/2 is faster and more efficient, mostly due to multiplexing and the ability to prioritise resource loads.

This conversation is a bit behind the times, as we are heading towards HTTP/3 (QUIC) as a standard, LiteSpeed has a good working implementation and it's experimental in nginx.

If your hosting provider doesn't have HTTP/2 as a default and it isn't running on your servers, then ask them why not.
