Episode 5 of The Web Development Podcast investigates a silent performance bottleneck plaguing modern web apps: connection setup overhead. Lucas and Luna walk through a real case from a mid-size SaaS company where every API call spent 1.8 seconds in TCP handshake and TLS negotiation before sending a single byte. They explain why this happens, how HTTP/2 multiplexing helps but doesn't solve it, and the one configuration change that slashed latency by 40%. No fluff, just a concrete debugging story with a lesson that applies to any API-heavy frontend or backend. If you've ever opened Chrome DevTools and wondered why your requests spend most of their time in 'Connection Start' or 'Stalled', this episode is for you.
