The paper opens the question of comparison published open-source webservers with support of HTTP/3. This is brand new protocol standardised in 2022 was developed with aim to speed up web communication and instead of TCP uses UDP with new QUIC protocol. There is summarized current state of HTTP protocols development and studies, where is compared performance of various HTTP versions. The aim of paper is to compare different open-source webserver implementations with HTTP/3 support in laboratory. Five different scenarios were presented to test ordinary real-life situations. The results of all three servers with different content and HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/3 protocols are presented. Main result would be better performance of Caddy and nginx server in bad connection conditions, but without speed limit, large delay or loss the OpenLiteSpeed was fastest.
