The visitor can continue to view your webpage. Besides, during this time, they are not taking up a slot. However, once the visitor decides to clicks on a link, play a video, or some other activity that requires a connection, they will then become a concurrent connection again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e01598 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e01598\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">So what does this mean?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d489f43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d489f43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This means that you can generally have a large number of visitors viewing your website\u00a0<em>(much larger than your concurrent connection capacity)<\/em>, as long as they don&#8217;t all make connections at the same time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d859f98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d859f98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Here's a \"real world\" example that might help illustrate this relationship:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fb4bd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fb4bd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Let&#8217;s suppose you invite some friends over to play a board game.<\/p><p>The board game has a limit of how many people can be actively playing the game at one time (this is your\u00a0<strong>concurrent connections<\/strong>).
