HTTP/2 provides significantly faster page load times than HTTP because of its ability to deliver more HTTP requests at once and prioritize those requests. HTTP/2 delivers files 20%-30% faster than HTTP. Based on Google's SPDY project, HTTP/2 actually marks the first major HTTP update since 1999!

With ESI, you no longer have to designate an entire page as non-cacheable just because one portion cannot be cached. Instead you can easily designate portions of your page to be cached (or not cached) with ESI. This is significant especially for sites created by applications like Magento or WordPress.

"Root" gives you administrative level access to edit, install and configure all of the files on your server, including system-critical files. It gives you ultimate access to your server. This gives you the ability to configure your server to your exact needs. While root access gives you full control of your server, it is intended for experienced users, engineers and developers. That's because you do have the potential to misconfigure or delete those system critial files if you're unfamiliar or inexperienced with what you're doing.

LiteMage is a caching solution designed to help you get the fastest Magento page load speeds. LiteMage uses Edge Sides Includes (ESI) on your pages that were previously unable to be cached. ESI "punches holes" where the unique, non-cacheable content on your pages is. This allows the rest of your page to be served from cache so it can load faster for each of your site visitors.

Communicates directly with your server to save and serve static copies of your dynamic PrestaShop pages to greatly reduce your store’s page-load time.
