Just curious, what is the update frequency of `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` web pages in browser?



Transfer-encoding chunked is not really meant to be used this way, its normaly just an optimization for the http protocol, so its basically instant/however fast the webserver sends data - with the common case being as fast as possible.

The server determines that - when it sends new HTML (whenever it wants to), the client loads and displays the new content immediately.
