Answer #1

Generally a packet on internet is transmitted using TCP/IP over HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Given that the maximum size of a packet is 576 bytes, where 512 bytes are for the web page file and remaining goes for header. Now from networking point of view, the less number of packets, the faster the transmission and the better user experience. Imagine, having a web page with HTML, CS, JS and Images of total size 2048 bytes, including the headers it will take 4 Packets to transfer the whole page and in the same way if after optimizing the pages, the total size is reduced to 512 bytes, the whole page will be transferred faster in a single packet.
