i cant totally agree with you grayson - but you said you learned it yesterday so i´ll gonna explain it. The comrpession thing in photoshop is nice - but there are better tools for that issue. After that i really would use css sprites - they arent that complicated and are used on every big company page (check the images and you see more pictures combined in one and moved by css). For example check www.vw.com and examine the footer image. The reason for that is that every request takes time (request and response + 2 times round trip + delay + queue + ...) and there are only few requests parallel (i think its 4 per domain).
If you are intrested in this topic - ill suggest you to read http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/ and if you wanna go further http://cs193h.stevesouders.com/ and there are many many more things (i´ll just mention html5, cause i still experiment with it). The things with the request is why i rly wouldnt split the pages in several html files - there isnt a lot on the page so why not serve them in one rush (better then 7 request for just 1kb each). The 24kb max. for images is okay (limit for caching is 25kb after decompression). Any questions? :) cheers Max p.s. in every mail the clock is mentioned - maybe you shouldnt remove it because its unique :) 2009/7/16 grayson <[email protected]> > > The site feels great once its loaded, but yeah its grabbing a lot of > files.
