The server would almost always respond with at the very least an HTML page and a stylesheet, since ages ago you would likely also make a request for js.

Every image has always been a seperate request and video, which is chuncked, is multiple requests.

Unlesd you are deploying an unstyle HTML page with no media the server isn't serving 1 request even for old school web pages.
