        I actually read the link and they mention QUIC

        there is a notion that HTTP/3 and QUIC will do away with the 14kB rule — this is not true. QUIC recommends the same 14kB rule.

          Damn I was actually gonna add more context to my original comment about how QUIC is an overrated in place UDP upgrade for HTTP, but I didn’t wanna open my mouth because I haven’t read the QUIC spec.

          Thank you for this lol

      Is it just the HTML that should be under 14kb? I think script, CSS, and image (except embedded SVGs) are separate requests? So these should individually be under 14kb to get the benefit?

        In an ideal world, there’s enough CSS/JS inlined in the HTML that the page layout is consistent and usable without secondary requests.

        Those additional requests will reuse the existing connection, so they’ll have more bandwidth at that point.

          Interesting, didn’t know that’s how modern browsers worked. Guess my understanding was outdated from the HTTP/1 standard.
