I was saying this because I had to wait like 5-10 seconds of hard refresh of just the jpg url at 6mbps and with 20, it's 1-2 seconds.
So, if he wants to be quick, why the speed doesn't matter in bandwith?
Because a hard refresh does multiple things.
"Sends out a request for the thing's meta data"
*waits for it to return* > You're also looking for a dns request for the website you're trying to load (also very time consuming), while you can have a program just directly send messages to an IP address.
"okay, i definitely want what's here, no matter what, let's start shaking hands*
*waits for web server to raise their hand; oh what's that, webservers queue requests from similar IPs to avoid immediate effects of a single DoS attempt*
"OKAY, NOW WE'RE SHAKING HANDS, GIVE ME THE IMAGE"
*okay, but I'm likely still querying data to other people as web services prioritise meta pings over direct connection requests*
"HOORAY, ITS THE SAME IMAGE AS BEFORE"
Guess what a program does?
Just the first two. It's sending out a single message and waiting for it's return. Protocols, like bureaucracy take time when done at "end-user" level, gotta be a red-tape cutter~
