Expected? Multiple range requests per pageload

[TheMapSmith]

Hey Brandon, I'm debugging some performance issues for a client and I noticed something interesting in the network panel and I want to confirm whether this is expected or not.

We have a few PMTiles layers in a map. When watching the requests, there are around a dozen requests per PMTiles file.

I'm guessing that this is because each request needs a different byte range. A sample of the response headers:

• bytes 72726246-72879088/28868822500
• bytes 72879089-72988895/28868822500
• bytes 72396543-72506905/28868822500
• etc.

Is this the intended behavior, or do we need to adjust our implementation?

that is correct, each tile is a separate range request and downloaded independently.

Good to know 👍

Hopefully, this issue will help any folx in the future who are curious about this as well 😄
