Websockets
I have this line shown in the
Network tab on my cloudflare dashboard:
"Concurrent connection guidelines for your plan: low."
What does this mean exactly? My application needs a websocket connection for each user, that'd mean a thousand of connections at a time for starters. Will be more with time.
- Am I supposed to upgrade to a Pro/Enterprise plan?
- Will cloudflare reject new websocket connections if there are too many connections? What are the limits?8 Replies
the plans dont really say anything about websockets, whats the point of upgrading?
as I said, it's not a hard limit
i understand but
what are the other benefits of using pro
benefits for the websockets
like, would there be a lower latency or some kind of optimization?
no.
as far as i can tell, connection limits for Websockets have been lifted entirely (https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/websockets/) but there used to be (lax) limits for each plan.
The limit indicator on the dash seems to be a remnant of that, as i cannot find any information on limit numbers anymore either
alright, thank you
would support be able to provide further information onf these "lax" limits?
looking at a wayback archive of the cloudflare websockets page, there used to be limits but as i said they seem to be lifted now
https://web.archive.org/web/20231130122439/https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/websockets/
so even if you exceed some limit, nothing will happen immediately and you will instead be notified
i'd say stick with the free plan and upgrade as you see fit
