Talking Discussion: Optimal Management of Keepalives

Optimal Management of Keepalives
Quote:
I've been spending some time analyzing page loading times in a theoretical fashion, and how they relate to keepalives and my own templates in an attempt to ensure that my own web servers were configured in such a way that an initial visitor achieves the best possible experience. These are my preliminary results.

Question What is right?

Keepalives and persistence are a confusing subject where performance is concerned. Standard advice is to turn keepalives off for high traffic sites. But keepalives are supposed to make things faster. I don't really understand it at all. There is a lot of conflicting information out there.

Default Re: Discussion: Optimal Management of Keepalives

The simple answer is to turn keepalives off. With keepalives on, slow clients can save themselves a few roundtrips to your server. If the timeouts are set too long, you may run into problems because of too many open connections.
