Think dropped requests. If you're operating with 99% packet loss like many people around the world minimizing the absolute number of requests can have dramatic impact on load times.

- 3pt14159 9y agoWhat do you mean? I've operated at 99% packet loss plenty of times in the rural parts of Vietnam. The key is you can't use any of the websites or apps that are popular in North America / Europe.
- fulafel 9y agoThe likelihood of even opening a TCP connection is going to be very low. For phase 1, stacks typically send 5 SYNs before giving up. So 95% of your TCP connection estabilishments will slowly fail due to timeout before you even get to phase 1 of the 3-stage connection estabilishment. To say nothing of actually transmitting or receiving any payload data successfully. Which you would have to many times to open a web page.
