Below are two graphs plotting the number of images on a page against the total KB transferred by Chrome 13 for both a page with JSIO and without JSIO (which I, for some reason have called a “plain” page).
I build websites for a living, so I have a lot of folders of images from various websites lying around which form the two data sets for the graphs. I’d like to think of them as a typical set of website images, but you may argue that they are typical for the websites that I build.
I knocked up a script that when given a folder of images, will output a “plain” HTML page, a JSIO HTML page and a JSIO resources file with the following numbers of images on them: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 and 1100. Before generating any of the pages, the order of the images were randomised to better represent a web page’s inclusion of different images for different purposes.
Chrome 13 was used with the developer toolbar to determine how many requests were being made and the actual KB transferred (with slight rounding errors) by the browser. In my opinion I would say that Apache was set up to serve image and javascript content typical of many servers on the internet in that images were not gzipped but javascript files were; the register, bbc, for example.
What is interesting to note is that the number of bytes transferred by JSIO are consistently lower than the bytes transferred by a plain HTML page…but not by a lot. The file size inflation due to base64 encoding seems to cancel out a lot of bytes the gained from making fewer requests. However, it is obvious that JSIO won’t actually lose you any bytes, but it isn’t going to save you a substantial amount. That said, saving bytes isn’t the only benefit of JSIO, remember that one of JSIO’s goals is also to alleviate some of the problems surrounding the creation and use of image sprites – which it does also do very well.
The graph below is just for fun, it plots the number of requests made by JSIO pages against the number of requests made by plain HTML pages. Note the JSIO pages make a constant 4 requests (index.html, jsio.js, jsio-resources.js and jsio.gif) independent of how many images are on the page:



Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at portolives extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

Here is my web blog; Basketball-wetten.com
Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at meadowharborgoodsgallery reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.
Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at frostrivercommercegallery gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at silverharborcommercegallery extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at jewelbrookartisanexchange kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at windharborcraftcollective only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at valecovecraftcollective added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at alpinecovecraftcollective confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at ivoryridgeartisanexchange maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.

Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at seameadowcommercegallery extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at clovercrestcraftcollective kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at learnanddevelopquickly continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at fondarbors confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at roseharbortradehall extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists and a look at forgecabin extended that gratitude the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at oakmeadowcommercegallery confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at woodcovecraftcollective continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at caramelcoveartisanexchange reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at mooncovecraftcollective keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at velvetbrookcraftcollective reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at jewelbrookcraftcollective continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at silkmeadowcommercegallery extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at dawnridgeartisanexchange confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at violetharbortradeparlor continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at plumharborcommercegallery continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at explorefreshgrowth maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at isleparishs reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.
However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at solarmeadowcommercegallery confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at alpinecovevendorworkshop confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at windharborartisanexchange confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at mintmeadowgoodsroom extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it and a stop at foxarbor maintained the same appropriate seriousness knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at goldencovemarkethall kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at fastgoodsbazaar sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at trailharbortradeparlor extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to floraharborvendorparlor I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at silverharborcommercegallery reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at harborstonecraftcollective continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to solarmeadowmarketroom kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
Started reading expecting to disagree and ended mostly nodding along, and a look at violetharborcraftcollective continued the pattern, content that wins agreement through evidence and reasoning rather than rhetorical force is the kind that actually shifts minds and this site clearly knows how to do that across what I have read so far.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at skyharborartisanexchange extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at orchardharborvendorhall confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at coralharbormerchantgallery extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at auroracoveartisanexchange continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at dawnridgecraftcollective closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at nightorchardcraftcollective suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at honeymeadowmarketroom did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at chestnutharborcraftcollective added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
