Cookies and the performance of the web application

AquariusDarius — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 05:55:36 GMT

Hello community

Just wanted to ask if anybody knows the exact size of the cookies or do you know the steps in knowing the size of the cookies. Also, I just want to make sure if cookies affects the performance of the web application?

Thank you.

@AquariusDarius,

Today, the size of cookies should have an absolute negligible impact on web performance.

Unless the application is really bad. And, of course, I have seen many cases where this is true 🤣
