Apache Module — HTTP2

Last modified: August 23, 2024

The mod_http2 Apache module provides HTTP/2 support for the Apache HTTP server.

Important:
  • Most browsers only support HTTP/2 via encrypted (https) connections.
  • This module only works if you call it directly via Apache. Install the ea-nginx-http2 package to use HTTP/2 with NGINX.
  • HTTP/2 is resource intensive and can increase your server’s memory usage.

This module can increase the loading speed and security of your web pages. To obtain these benefits, you must adjust your server’s configuration.

Requirements

This module requires EasyApache 4 and Apache 2.4.

Compatibility

The mod_http2 Apache module is not compatible with the DSO PHP handler. This module also isn’t compatible with these other Apache modules:

  • mod_mpm_itk
  • mod_mpm_prefork
  • mod_ruid2

On new installations of cPanel & WHM, the system installs the mod_mpm_prefork module by default. To check the MPMs that your system uses, run the following command:

rpm -qa | grep mpm

The output may resemble the following example:

ea-apache24-mod_mpm_prefork-2.4.34-3.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64

How to install or uninstall the module

You can install or uninstall the mod_http2 Apache module in WHM’s EasyApache 4 interface (WHM » Home » Software » EasyApache 4). If your server requires that you run websites as the user, you must also install the mod_suexec Apache module.
