The WebSocketServer also works as an http site, but is it slower?
Should I always use the WebSocketServer or is the NetworkedMultiplayerENet better?
Should I use something else?
I didn’t find anything in the Godot documentation about the differences between the WebSocketServer and the NetworkedMultiplayerENet.
I hope someone can explain the difference to me.

I’m not entirely sure but I believe NetworkedMultiplayerENet is packet based. If you take a look at PacketPeer — Documentation de Godot Engine (4.x) en français which is what NetworkedMultiplayerENet implements, it’s said to be “an abstraction and base class for packet-based protocols (such as UDP)”.
Websockets are a two way communication pipe if you want. From this article we see “The protocol consists of an opening handshake followed by basic message framing, layered over TCP”.
I remember seeing some benchmarks on Websockets saying they were pretty fast. I guess it depends on what you want dot, how much control you need, etc…
There’s a bit of documentation on networking, I don’t know if you read it already: API multijoueur de haut niveau — Documentation de Godot Engine (4.x) en français
Thank you very much.
