Simultaneous connections.
WHAT LIMITS EXIST
How many requests an account can handle at once How many connections a server accepts How many a client may open
WHY LIMITS EXIST
To prevent one account or visitor consuming everything.
WHAT HITTING A LIMIT LOOKS LIKE
Errors under load Intermittent failures Slowness that clears and returns
WHAT DRIVES CONNECTION USE
Page generation time The number of resources per page Traffic volume Bots
THE GENERATION TIME POINT
Slow pages hold connections longer, so fewer visitors exhaust the limit.
Improving speed reduces connection use directly.
WHAT THAT MEANS
Hitting a connection limit on a small site usually indicates slowness, not traffic.
WHAT TO DO
Improve page speed and caching first Reduce unnecessary requests Identify and block abusive bots
WHEN AN UPGRADE IS WARRANTED
Sustained legitimate traffic beyond the plan.
WHAT TO CHECK
Resource usage, before assuming growth.
