We know what the critical resources are for the page (i.e. their priorities), and we know the properties of TCP connections (like slow-start). The optimal number of connection is 1 (with exception of few edge cases where TCP window scaling is disabled and BDP is high). > Are you saying that HTTP 2.0 loading is the best known algorithm in all > cases? > That's bogus.

HTTP 2.0 provides the necessary tools to achieve same performance as bundling, but with additional benefits of granular downloads, incremental execution, etc. (I feel like I'm stuck in a loop ;-)) > The way I look at it, this isn't about zipping a whole application vs. > HTTP 2.0, it's actually a combination of both strategies that will yield > better load times. > No. You don't need bundling with HTTP 2.0. > I agree that "large bundles break prioritization", but why wouldn't you > for example zip 20 image files that never change during the year and choose > that method of delivery? > Because you can load 20 images individually, which means you can display each of them sooner, and you have a more granular cache - if you're under pressure, you can evict one or more images without evicting all of them. Similarly, you don't need to read the entire zip to get just one image, etc. ig
