That might/might not be much.
Depends upon the site, I'd say.
e.g. If it's something like Netflix, I wouldn't think much, because they have the means to serve the requests.
But for some PeerTube instance, even a single request seems to be too heavy for them. So if that server does not respond to my request, I usually wait for an hour or so before refreshing the page.
