disadvantages of websockets

Question

I would like to know what kind of limitations there are in using websockets.

Websockets is just so.. powerful. I can\'t imagine that it is without disadvantages.

Answer 1

From what I read, this seems to be related to HTTP Server Push which I read that it is usually not recommended to use since it creates lots of connections on the server.

If I have to choose, I probably would always develop a client polling mechanism.
