Is Using To Much Ajax Bad?

[jbwebdesign]

Hello everyone, I am working on a website and i am using AJAX.

 

I am sending requests to the server constantly to have a "LIVE" FEED.

 

 

I am sending an ajax request to the server to reload a table constantly and another one to reload a different piece of data constantly etc.

 

is there anything bad with doing this?

 

will this run slow if i start to have more traffic?

I believe that using too much ajax can slow things down. If you are trying to populate a lot of data then expect it to be a bit slow.

 

The question you have to ask yourself is 'How will this benefit (or hurt) my clients/customers?'

I've just looked into some realtime stuff and it looks like Websockets can be good for what i am looking to do.

 

does anyone know weather websockets is the best way for me to go?
