Browsers connect roughly 2-4 times. Anything more is exceeding the RFC spec. The average site has far more than 3 images. More like 15-20 images. So with 3 connections and 15 images, that is 5 different serial connections. Furthermore each open TCP connection is further load on your own server - so why have extra when you don't need em?

There IS a small savings on overhead, a tiny bit on image size, but you have effectively reduced the number of pipes you have to just one. take this example; you have three images to load into a web page. Using sprites, you sit there waiting for one large image to load. Without using sprites, the three images would load simultaneously. Given how servers manage connections with browsers, it is MUCH faster to load three small images than one large one. Of course, there is a point where increasing the number of pipes loses efficiency, and at this point it is better to combine images to decrease load time. All Web developers should understand sprites as it is a great tool to have in the toolbox. But like all tools, it should not be used without understanding the underlying benefits and possible detriments. Thanks for the nice article.

I'm on side of just using two h1's, one for the site name, one for the page name. Actually a quick peek at the html for this page reveals the site name in a h1 tag. What should the site title be?

Great list, but regarding n.º5 - what about blog homepages, where usually we have several post titles? Shouldn't each page have only one H1? What should we do? Hi.
