- anthony_r 6y agoNothing special about it, it's just another round-trip that you'd have to make. There's also the statistical impact of many round-trips: imagine a network where 1% of connections take 1 second, while 99% take 1 milisecond. If you issue > 100 request then most page loads will be slow.
- missblit 6y agoIt doesn't need to be an extra round-trip in HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 thanks to server push (which is basically link rel preload, but without the roundtrip part)
