Great post! This is so true. Google has been looking at speed a lot lately. I have a real life case. Our Google webmasters account was showing that our site was slow. The company I work for started using akamai to increase the speed of our website. In less than a week we started to see real improvements in our search rankings. It is my belief that our site speed was holding us back because Google was thinking it was hurting the user experience.

Page load time can be reduced by compressing the content. Unnecessary content can be removed from the webpage which in turn helps in reducing page load time.

When using the above image concatenation methods, it is important to note that concatenating similar images is a good plan. Avoid concatenating images of vastly different sizes because the wasted space on the concatenated image increases the amount of data being downloaded which can counter-act what we are attempting to reduce by concatenation.

Using this method can affect the printability of your page as background images assigned with CSS don’t show in print too well
Image concatenation can be a beautiful thing when dealing with large numbers of icons/images. But, as with anything, weigh its benefit. Thus far, I’m pretty happy with the results!
