Ask HN: Would you pay to reduce HTTP requests?
2 points by shanebellone 1 year ago | 8 commentsWould you pay for a service that reduced the HTTP requests produced by your multimedia?
This process results in faster load times.

- shanebellone 1 year agoThey don't reduce request count. For example, Chrome only allows 6 concurrent connections (requests).
If you load 10 images in 1 request, you've reduced network latency and avoided the connection limit.
- dave4420 1 year agoDoes that limit still apply with HTTP 2 and HTTP 3?
- shanebellone 1 year agoYes, but multiplexing does minimize the problem. You could multiplex batched requests for hundreds of resources with my strategy.

- dimitrisnl 1 year agoThe question is very vague, and kind of fails the "Mom test".
- shanebellone 1 year agoIf the problem seems vague, then the solution is not for you.
The concept of a "mom test" is condescending as well. Many moms code.
