SpriteMe
May 22nd, 2010 | Published in css
Background images make pages look good, but also make them slower. Each background image is an extra HTTP request. There’s a fix: combine background images into a CSS sprite. But creating sprites is hard, requiring arcane knowledge and lots of trial and error. SpriteMe removes the hassles with the click of a button.
In brief SpriteMe:
1. finds background images
2. groups images into sprites
3. generates the sprite
4. injects the sprite into the current page
5. recomputes the CSS background-position
