I've been debugging a GIS application lately. We have a remote customer & a corporate connection to them that has a lot of latency. Since most GIS sites work by sending hundreds of square map tile images, there ends up being a lot of requests, especially for maps with many layers.
As helpful as decreasing image size was, switching to HTTP/2 was even better. Highly recommend giving HTTP/2 a try if your dealing with a lot of file requests & latency. A small test of 150 images went from 6 seconds down to 1 second in our tests.
- theandrewbailey 8y agoI can collaborate about HTTP/2. Even my blog, with about 10 requests and 500KB (mostly images), I noticed a clear improvement (~200-500ms quicker load) by upgrading from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2, and doing nothing else.
