132 | Chapter 15: Deconstructing 10 Top Sites Yahoo! Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) is the fourth-heaviest page in total bytes among the ones examined in this chapter, but second in response time and YSlow grade. The Yahoo! home page team has been engaged with my performance team for years, and is constantly tracking and working to improve response times. As a result, their YSlow scores are high, and they are able to squeeze more speed out of their page. Yahoo!'s home page has four CSS sprite images. It has been using sprites for years and was the first web site in which I encountered the use of sprites. One of these sprites is icons_1.5.gif. Looking at the list of components, we see that this image is Figure 15-23. http://www.yahoo.com YSlow grade Page weight HTTP requests Response time A 178K 40 5.9 sec
