Would you pay for a service that reduced the HTTP requests produced by your multimedia?

This process results in faster load times.

How would you outcompete major CDNs/existing caching schemes already being paid for?

    They 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.

      Does that limit still apply with HTTP 2 and HTTP 3?

      • shanebelloneOP 2 years ago

        Yes, but multiplexing does minimize the problem. You could multiplex batched requests for hundreds of resources with my strategy.

The question is very vague, and kind of fails the "Mom test".

    If the problem seems vague, then the solution is not for you.

    The concept of a "mom test" is condescending as well. Many moms code.

As a viewer? As a publisher?

    As a publisher. One who seeks to decrease load times on pages that require many resources.
