Very little point in that cause we have HTTP/2

Can you clarify, is this happening on `meta.discourse.org` or on some other site we are hosting?

If it’s on meta then yes we got to add a bypass to our special rate limiting here for emojis, [discourse\_docker/templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml at master · discourse/discourse\_docker · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml) is too indescriminent.

One plan we have is to shift to a global rate limit in the APP so this would be totally sidestepped and then the NGINX rate limit can be way higher.
