This article has been revised and re-written several times since its very first publication in 2007, to keep the information current. The most recent revision was done by Flip Stewart in January 2015. What are CSS Sprites? Spoiler alert: they aren't fairies that write your stylesheets for you. I wish. In short: CSS

This is another good technique for trying to optimise the performance of your site. The purpose of this is to chunk images into a file and make them retrievable in a quicker way. By using CSS, this can limit the amount of work HTTP requests would have to make. This also makes up for the fact that the file sizes may be slightly higher, but this is a more effective way of organisation. You can use software such as Grunt, which I will show next.

CSS speed test: flat, vs gradients, vs sprites

I recently created a simple css speed test page to see what the difference is between using a flat background colour, a css gradient, or a sprite gradient: http://playground.mattbailey.co/css-speed-test/

It's not a particularly scientific test as there are many factors involved in perceived page load times, but it seems to give a useful indication.

It works by using javascript to compare the difference between the download complete time and the render complete time, the result being the window paint time. It then records these results using localStorage and generates an average window paint time. Obviously the more times you click a test the more accurate the average.

When I run the tests myself in Chrome the flat background colour has consistently the fastest window paint time, followed closely by sprite gradients, then css gradients, but there's really not much in it - less than 10ms between the fastest and slowest. I suppose this isn't very surprising, but I'd be interested to know whether others get similar results.

JS isn't the solution for CSS Sprites

Always trying to better my skills and try new things I've been fiddling with various ways to approach CSS Sprite creation including JS solutions, which are just way to complicated for me at this point to even wrap my head around.

This week a coworker overheard me talking with a designer about sprites and remembered this neat application.

Enter TexturePacker. 

I took it for a spin and man it's worth the small investment of 25$. 

The big question now is how long does it take you to create sprites and what's your time worth to you?
