We all know that browsers make multiple requests to servers for each and every resource that is contained in the page. But what is the max number of persistent connections that the browser can make to download all elements of a page?
Well to my suprise, the W3C specification on HTTP 1.1 actually states the same.
"A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more than 2 connections with any server or proxy. "
What this essentially means is that broswers can download no more than two components in parallel per hostname. U always discover new things :)
