#46: Use css sprites to improve latency of default style -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Owner: sakhmechet Type: defect | Status: new Priority: wishlist | Milestone: Component: weblocks | Version: Keywords: latency performance css png | -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- The default page will load 33 pngs. A lot of these average at around 200- 300 bytes in size. Using CSS sprites can improve latency and the feel of a weblocks application a lot. I am measuring around 2s load time using firebug on the default weblocks- demo page. My guess is that CSS sprites can shave off around .5 seconds. How to reproduce: {{{ (require :weblocks-demo) (weblocks:start-server) }}} In firefox, install firebug. Enable firebug for your site. Do a "shift-reload" (holding shift down while doing a reload) to do a fresh load of the front-page. Inspect the "Net" tab in firebug to get a timeline. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.common-lisp.net/cl-weblocks/ticket/46> cl-weblocks <http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-weblocks> cl-weblocks
