Are you after reducing your server load and speeding up your web pages? You’ve heard of CSS sprites before but you don’t know how they can bring improvements in your situation?

Well, simply put, each image on a web page is a separate HTTP request to the server, and experience shows that you can dramatically increase the performance of a page by combining multiple images or icons into a larger image sprite sheet. CSS is finally used to select the parts of the composite image to display at different places in the page.
