Http connection limits of webworker

Suppose my Angular application is having a webworker thread. The main thread is calling X number of async XHR calls and the webworker thread is making Y number of async XHR calls. Both the calls are going to the same server. In that case, does X + Y adhere to the total number of permissible http connection of the browser (6 for Chrome), or X and Y separately adhere to 6.

Basically by using web worker - can I get more http connections per server IP? (6 becomes 12)? Or it subjects to the same browser limit of 6?

If it's latter (same browser limit of 6) - how can I increase the limit, if any tricks for Angular application.

All browsers strict maximum number of HTTP Connection per Domain is 6. If you want to reach over 6, you can do in two ways:

  1. Domain Sharding: You can create more subdomains to share the workload. Ex: you can split www.abc.com to static.abc.com for Static Files, orderapi.abc.com for Order API, etc...
  2. HTTP 2: In case you understand deeply HTTP/2 and your BE server supports HTTP/2, you can perform HTTP/2, read this article
