I just tossed my site through that web optimization service (http://www.websiteoptimization.com/), and it returned a very peculiar review: it counted and weighed every single image being pointed to from my CSS file, even though the HTML page that I had it review only used a fraction of them.

Which begs the question, when a stylesheet is loaded up by a browser, will that browser automatically attempt to load every referenced image, regardless of it being called by the HTML file?

I would never have assumed so, but admittedly never gave it any thought either. . .

Try running a few sites through http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ - the analyzer gives specific recommended sizes for each component of a page (css, js, html, images), and reasons for each too.

Another useful tool that reports on similar aspects is
