Chapter 5. The Fastest HTTP Request is No HTTP Request

Until now, we have done a lot to reduce the time that spent loading your website. Surely, there's not much more that we can do? Well, yes, there is. I briefly mentioned reducing the number of HTTP requests in previous chapters but, this time, we will seriously improve the load time by making use of something that I call image framing. We will look at using sprites for buttons or background images by using inline images and will combine JavaScript files and some other server-side settings that can help us to improve performance.
