Lee, we use WEBO Site SpeedUp to perform all optimization actions for our website. Due to some reasons (static CDN over dynamic engine) it’s not possible (right now of course) to enable data:URI / mhtml techniques, so we use CSS Sprites only.
[quote name=‘Lee Li Pop’]Hello Webo,
I have two questions.
1 - Why don’t you combine images to save HTTP requests, your website could load faster yet?
2 - Why don’t you use CSS sprites?

Pingdom results can’t be accessible as precise. It parses CSS files, finds all links to CSS images, and counts them. To keep backward comatibility there are IE6 rules (due to PNG32 usage) w/o CSS Sprites. The main CSS Sprite contains about 100 images, and actually there is a few out of this file

Also WEBO Site SpeedUp can use CSS Sprites for HTML images (we call this techniques HTML Sprites), but due to static HTML pages for all users ths approach don’t work for our corporate website (I think it’s a temporary situation, and we add HTML Sprites support even for such cases).
Maybe our corporate website, www.webogroup.com, can be loaded a bit faster, but we are inventing some generic approaches to improve our products and make all websites faster, not just only ours
