My plaintext no animations statically generated site does 5 connections to load the content. http://jeremy.marzhillstudios.com

Now I could optimize that even more by inlining everything with data-inline: but that would impact caching code and be strictly worse for the network.

A property from google even websearch has fancy transitions and animations and dynamic content. And Google has every incentive to limit the number of connections to their page. When I worked there I worked on some of those technologies specifically to avoid too many connections.

Blaming Google for not being disciplined enough disregards their economic incentives to be disciplined enough. They invested a lot of energy in this before SPDY came out. There comes a time where you just have to recognize that the protocol is fighting against you and either give up or evolve the protocol.
