What is real use of web worker

Can any body explain what is the real use of web worker. Does it have any connection to perfomance ? Also if i increase it is there any chance of getting more traffic.

Hi there, the main performance benefit of additional web workers is that you can handle more requests concurrently. one web worker can only deal with one request at a time.

thanks harry but now question arise how would i know if i need more web-workers. I can see from logs that people are visiting but how to know if more requests are in queue and i need to increase web worker to accommodate them. Any thing in logs can indicate that ?

Unfortunately not right now -- we do have some data on how many workers are being used, but it's not accessible from the logs. That said, if you send us a message over the "Send feedback" link, we can normally let you know what level of utilisation you're currently seeing, with at least a day's worth of historical data on a minute-by-minute basis.

Hello Giles

I have send the details in "Send Feedback Link" Please check and let me know if you need any more details. Thank You.

thanks giles for the help the data helped a lot. one suggestion that this features should be available for users which will make users aware if they need to increase their web workers. thanks again
