How to reduce css http requests?
1 large css file
or one css file which importing all other css
is this same?
What is the benefit of using this
@import url('/css/typography.css');
@import url('/css/layout.css');
@import url('/css/color.css');
No as the Client still needs to load every CSS file (with one HTTP-request each)
Some Links to learn more about reducing HTTP requests:
If you are using Firefox I highly recommend Firebug, which offers a view with detailed information about HTTP-Requests.
EDIT:
As flybywire points out in the comments: YSlow is a Firefox extension that integrates with Firebug to analyze web page performance
3 easy things I would try first:
use on every page)
compressor or some online tool)
(things that are not shared among
pages)
Most of those things also apply to Javascript files.
