  A long time ago, some websites used to pack their images and use css to display a piece of the larger image. It reduced the number of round trips by not having to fetch a bunch of small files.

    This "sprite sheet" style hack is still used sometimes. I guess it's not really that necessary now that most sites load 25MB of JavaScript and a 250MB video that plays onload.

      HTTP/2's multiplexing is probably the main reason we don't need sprite sheets anymore. I guess icon fonts are the modern sprite sheet to some degree.
