There are millions of sites, and you are in close competition with every one of those Google search query results. The resource loading waterfall is a cascade of files downloaded from the network server to the client to load your website from start to finish. You can see this by opening your browser and looking in the Networking tab.

As developers, we rightfully obsess about the customer experience, relentlessly working to squeeze every millisecond out of the critical rendering path, optimize input latency, and eliminate jank. On top of this foundation, we add layers of caching, prerendering and edge delivery optimizations — not the other way around.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks.

Next, we’ll look at how to set up servers and clients (that’s the hard part unless you’re using a content delivery network (CDN)). Using just a few (but still more than one), however, could nicely balance congestion growth with better performance, especially on high-speed networks. This is true, but only to a relatively limited extent.
