Here is an useful tool for improving performance of your website: The CSS sprite generator takes a number of source images and combines them into a single "sprite" image and supplies CSS to map to each image within the sprite. The technique this tool employs is often used to improve the performance of a web site by reducing the number of HTTP requests that the client's browser needs to make.

CSS sprites are a way to reduce the number of HTTP requests made for image resources referenced by your site. Images are combined into one larger image at defined X and Y coordinates. Having assigned this generated image to relevant page elements the background-position CSS property can then be used to shift the visible area to the required component image.

This technique can be very effective for improving site performance, particularly in situations where many small images, such as menu icons, are used. The Yahoo! home page, for example, employs the technique for exactly this.
