Using Web Workers can have a significant impact on the maximum number of HTTP connections that a browser can make per domain. Here's how:

Effect on HTTP Connections Web Workers run in separate threads, allowing them to perform tasks without blocking the main thread. This means that Web Workers can make additional HTTP requests concurrently, potentially increasing the number of simultaneous connections to a domain.

Impact on Application Performance Improved Performance: By offloading tasks to Web Workers, you can improve the responsiveness of your main application, as the main thread is free to handle user interactions.

Increased Network Load: With more concurrent connections, the network load on the server increases, which can impact server performance if not managed properly.

Better Resource Utilization: Web Workers can help distribute the workload more efficiently, making better use of available resources and improving overall application performance.

By using Web Workers, you can make multiple HTTP requests concurrently, improving the performance and responsiveness of your application.
