Hey there,
I've been wondering if the assumption of four asset hosts for the sake of
speed improvements is still valid.
Rails documentation about asset hosts:
Browsers typically open at most two simultaneous connections to a single
> host, which means your assets often have to wait for other assets to finish
> downloading. You can alleviate this by using a %d wildcard in the
> asset_host. For example, “assets%d.example.com”. If that wildcard is
> present Rails distributes asset requests among the corresponding four hosts
> “assets0.example.com”, …, “assets3.example.com”. With this trick browsers
> will open eight simultaneous connections rather than two
According to this (http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network), browsers
are supporting typically 6 - 8 simultaneous connections per host nowadays.
However, there's an average max connection limit of 2 times of that.
Would it make sense to adjust the behaviour to generate only two asset
hosts by default?
Cheers,
Sebastian
