What is HTTP Request overload?
HTTP Request overload is when a sites web page has too many images, Stylesheets, Javascripts, and other embedded elements in it, and because of the number of external files the page is slow to load. Broadband doesn’t solve this because it isn’t a weight issue, it is a wait issue. Browsers only allow a certain number of images to download at a time. If a browser only allows 3 images to load at a time, then a page with 30 images will take ten times longer to load than if they could all load at once. The same goes for Stylesheets and Javascripts. HTTP Request overload is remedied by adding Far-Futures headers to you images and compressing your Stylesheets and Javascripts into a single files.
