More bandwidth more bandwith more bandwith.
It seems that people, including myself, had always assumed getting faster bandwidth would indeed speed up the internet. Granted, it does increase download and upload speeds. But the real magic always comes with the programming behind the scenes.
But this doesn’t resolve the issues as to why some websites just take a long time to download. Fastest broadband connection in the world couldn’t make the websites server up on your browser any faster.
Google is taking aim and redefining the communication between browsers and the server. At their test labs, the results have been promising.
page load times increased 27 percent and 60 percent compared to HTTP, and between 39 percent and 55 percent when using SSL
And that’s not with one drop increase in bandwidth.
Now if we could only get rid of that nasty HTTP:// that repeatedly has to be used. Grrrrrr!
