What are concurrent connections?

Concurrent connections refers to the number of simultaneous connections between a client and a server. There is a limit to the number of simultaneous connections a server can handle before it slows down or even crashes. This limit is determined by factors such as available bandwidth, server resources, and server configuration.

When a client sends a request to a server, a connection is established and the server handles the request. If another client sends a request in the meantime, another connection is established and the server handles that request as well. If the number of simultaneous connections is too high, you may experience delays or interruptions in service. It is therefore important that servers are configured in such a way that they can support a sufficient number of simultaneous connections to ensure a smooth experience for users.
