size of css file - does it matter? - 6/13/2005 16:35:00
Hi all
Does the size of my css file make any difference to the pageload time?
i.e. if my css is 300 lines long, will it take longer than if it's 50 lines long?
thanks, kt

yes it will take longer but - it shouldnt mean a thing since it is only text - it should make an insignificant difference in download times - and remember, if multiple pages link to it, it is only downloaded once.

Hi KT
If you're really worried then you can optimise the CSS a bit (if you haven't already).
so this:
#div1
{background-color: #ffffff;
color: #666666;
}
Becomes this:
#div 1 {background-color: #fff; color: #666;}
It can help reduce the overall file size although it can make it harder to read so inserting CSS comments and or making sure you put related stuff together can help a lot.
