Difference between traditional (convection) liquid chromatography and HPLC

We can say that the High performance liquid chromatography is the advanced of liquid chromatography. The main difference between the HPLC and the liquid. Chromatography is High pressure
In liquid chromatography solvent pass through the force of gravity while in HPLC the solvent pass under the high pressure
Other than that following are the difference :
Parameter
