If we want to talk about HTTPS and 2019, then let's serve the whole shebang with HTTP/2 and not worry about reducing the number of requests, which seems to be the only advantage offered. > Would your opinion change if you reread the content with the assumption That's the assumption I was forced to make, and the crux of my argument. Content-Encoding: gzip works in most servers by compressing the content on the fly -- not by precompiling. Hence my comment about adding the overhead of compression to the request.
