Ask HN: Would you pay to reduce HTTP requests?
Would you pay for a service that reduced the HTTP requests produced by your multimedia?
This process results in faster load times.
- PaulHoule 3y agoAs a viewer? As a publisher?
- shanebellone 3y agoAs a publisher. One who seeks to decrease load times on pages that require many resources.
- nullindividual 3y agoHow would you outcompete major CDNs/existing caching schemes already being paid for?
- shanebellone 3y agoThey don't reduce request count. For example, Chrome only allows 6 concurrent connections (requests). If you load 10 images in 1 request, you've reduced network latency and avoided the connection limit.
- dave4420 3y agoDoes that limit still apply with HTTP 2 and HTTP 3?
- shanebellone 3y agoYes, but multiplexing does minimize the problem. You could multiplex batched requests for hundreds of resources with my strategy.
- dimitrisnl 3y agoThe question is very vague, and kind of fails the "Mom test".
- shanebellone 3y agoIf the problem seems vague, then the solution is not for you. The concept of a "mom test" is condescending as well. Many moms code.
