A large e-commerce website is optimizing its page loading times, which currently
suffer from slow performance when loading product pages that contain many
images, JavaScript files, and advertisements. The website is using
non-persistent HTTP, where every image, script, and ad causes a new TCP
connection to be opened and closed. This increases the round-trip time (RTT)
and causes significant delays. The development team is now considering
switching to persistent HTTP (HTTP/1.1) to improve
performance. W hich
of the following statements correctly describe the issues with non-persistent
HTTP and the benefits of persistent HTTP in this scenario? ( More than one option can be correct. )

of the following statements correctly describe the issues with non-persistent
HTTP and the benefits of persistent HTTP in this scenario? ( More than one option can be correct. )

Answer

Persistent
HTTP minimises OS overhead since the same TCP connection is reused for multiple
requests, reducing the number of connections opened and closed.

Answer

By
using persistent HTTP, only one RTT is required for multiple referenced
objects, reducing page load time significantly.

Answer

Persistent
HTTP requires two round-trip times (RTTs) for all referenced objects,
significantly increasing response time.

Answer

Non-persistent
HTTP causes multiple round-trip times (RTTs) for each object, which increases
loading time for pages with multiple referenced objects.

Answer

With non-persistent HTTP, browsers must open multiple parallel TCP connections to
fetch objects in parallel, increasing the load on both the client and server.
