The limit is per host, not per domain. Before using CDNs became commonplace, it was not unusual for a site to use multiple hostnames of their own to spread out their content and have more parallel connections for a single page load; example.com img1.example.com, img2.example.com, etc.
- richardwhiuk 11y agoIt's per FQDN, not per host. Host refers to either an individual machine, or an IP address, and the restriction is to neither of these.
