HTTP/2 (also known as HTTP/2.0 and HTTP 2.0) is the second major version of the HTTP network protocol used by the World Wide Web. Ratified in May 2015, HTTP/2 was created to address some significant performance problems with HTTP 1.1. The advantages of this protocol can be found here. Currently HTTP/2 is supported by most major web browsers.

HTTP/2 support is available for Plesk customers starting from the version 12.5.30 Update #28 and requires the latest version of nginx.

How to Enable HTTP/2 support for your web site
Make sure you have nginx web server updated to the latest version and running. You can do this on the Tools & Settings -> Server Components and the Tools & Settings -> Services Management pages.

Login to your server via SSH under root and enable HTTP/2 support in Plesk using the following command line utility:

# plesk bin http2_pref enable

During the last step your nginx web server will be tuned to use the TLS protocol with modern and secure ciphers, the whole web server configuration will be rebuilt, and all your and your customers’ web sites with SSL support will be moved to HTTP/2.

Please check the output of the command for errors or warnings during switching to HTTP/2. If there are any problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section below.

If you wish to return to HTTP 1.x and to disable HTTP/2, please use the following command:

# plesk bin http2_pref disable

For more information & troubleshooting, look here: HTTP/2 Support in Plesk

I am aware of this setting. Are there a possibility to switch the Plesk panel itself also to http2

You can create your hostname, as a domain in plesk, than enable http/2 for this domain.

Than connect to plesk with your.domain.com:8443

If you have any further questions, let me know.

And when i activate this by server. I mean there are two different environments at my server. 1 for Plesk and the other ones for my websites.

I'm over-excited, I can not think of a global setting for the system outside of Plesk except this:

plesk bin http2_pref enable
