Compressed Shorthand CSSCSS is optimized for brevity using shorthand wherever appropriate to create a small CSS file, which is then compressed for even more size savings. (A larger version of the CSS that is editable and commented is included for advanced users.)Image OptimizationTemplate images have been optimized to be as small as possible without sacrificing quality.CSS Image SpritesMultiple images are combined into a single image, decreasing overall file size, optimizing data transfer, improving caching, making for faster page rendering.Minimized HTTP RequestsSpecial attention has been given to keeping HTTP request generated by the template at an all-time low, providing the fastest possible data transfer and reducing server load. Template JavaScript is only loaded when required (hello IE6).Joomla JavaScriptJoomla 1.5.x loads 2 JavaScript files by default, regardless of whether they are needed or not. Totaling around 75Kb, these files definitely have an impact on speed and bandwidth. This template includes the option to disable those files if they aren’t required for your website. |
