I always find the haproxy documentation incredibly difficult to read. I've implemented your suggestions to my site and have noticed a 50% increase in page load speed.

Haproxy 1.4.4 supports keep-alive on the client side only, where the latency may be huge. It still closes the connections on the server side where the latency is short (tens of microseconds). This finally results in the best tradeoff : clients that are far away keep their connections open to save latency. Servers which are very close don't keep idle connections which are very expensive. That way you can use haproxy as a connection multiplexer with tens of thousands of client connections on one side and just a few hundreds on the other side. In the end, it allows you to reduce the total number of servers and use them better. In fact it’s even slightly different than that.
