500 requests are perfectly reasonable here. It loads mutliple pics per example avatar. And there are many examples. The only problem here is HTTP/1.1.

From what I see in my viewport, no it's not reasonable.

Using 500 requests for this because http2 exists is like stating it's ok electron apps eat 1 Go of ram because we have big configs today.

That's also why, in 2019, with quad cores, SSD and more memory than ever, things doesn't feel faster than 10 years ago.

Turns out the other heads were removed so it's not doing 500 requests anymore. So where does that leave us? Should we keep arguing over the original situation?
