Subsequent page loads? SSL initiation is slow because of round trip times.
- tyfon 6y agoI'd take the "slow" load any day over live connections to the web page. Not sure if a human could even notice it, when I load HN over SSL it is virtually instant.
- WJW 6y agoHN honors `Connection: keep-alive`, so this probably does not mean what you think it does.
- johannes1234321 6y agoEven if I take that as an argument it is relevant during the initial load, while fetching the assets. (Also mind: reduce number of assets, improve caching of assets etc.) But for that the connection doesn't have to be kept up longer. For the next click it's almost neglectable.
- Dylan16807 6y agoNow we've gone in a circle. Because as was already said, if you're holding a connection open in case of future loads, the most private way is to always keep it open for the same amount of time.
