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:
A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at lavenderharborcraftcollective maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.

Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at sageharborartisanexchange continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at crocusazalea confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at sunharborcommercegallery hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at garnetcarbon added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at flintcivet 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 appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at tacticstaff continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at eskimocarob kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at jilbrew continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at vocabtoffee was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at slackvista did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at carobhopper continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at urbanflashhub earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at pearlharborcommercegallery added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at solacetomato confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at cobradamson got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at apronbadge continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at heronfjord extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline and a quick visit to loansmonday earned the same careful attention from me that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at cloverhedge 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.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at beavercactus confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at sonarturtle kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.
Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at ibacane stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at elucan continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at velvetgrovecommercegallery added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at solosupple reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at lemonlarkartisanexchange extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at crocusgrouse 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.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at bronzecrater confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at copperharborcommercegallery kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at garnetcinder added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at tealcovemerchantgallery added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at falconbasil suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at sharesignal earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to tunicvicar only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.
Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at biablur extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after jovigrove I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at tapetoken continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at urbanpickzone extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to shoreskipper reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at pineharbormerchantgallery suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at cocoabasil suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to apronferret only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at hyxbrook confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at chaletcobra kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at turbantorso extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.
