As a publisher. One who seeks to decrease load times on pages that require many resources.

They don't reduce request count. For example, Chrome only allows 6 concurrent connections (requests).
If you load 10 images in 1 request, you've reduced network latency and avoided the connection limit.

They don't reduce request count. For example, Chrome only allows 6 concurrent connections (requests). If you load 10 images in 1 request, you've reduced network latency and avoided the connection limit.
Does that limit still apply with HTTP 2 and HTTP 3?

Yes, but multiplexing does minimize the problem. You could multiplex batched requests for hundreds of resources with my strategy.

If the problem seems vague, then the solution is not for you.
The concept of a "mom test" is condescending as well. Many moms code.
