Edge Rails Goody: Distributed Asset Hosts: It turns out this problem is even worse than I previously realized. According to this page (which I found out about in the patch I’ll mention in the next paragraph), most browsers impose a limit on how many connections can be made to a single named host at any given time. And on the internet’s most popular browser, this number is a whopping two. Add to this the fact that HTTP Pipelining is disabled by default, and a resource-heavy page is a recipe for a sluggish user experience. [We knew we’d need to collapse the files at the very least.]
