This seems to be comparing data URIs to an essentially un-optimized page. It would be more valid, I think, to compare the load time for different levels of optimizations which are more browser-compatible: e.g. CSS sprites, using different image domains, etc.
That said, I understand that any browser/HTTP performance testing is kind of a pain, so thanks for this result.
- robflaherty 17y agoI agree that a comprehensive test would include the optimized scenarios that you mentioned. In this case the intent was to show that even when comparing two extremes - a very unoptimized page and a super-optimized page - the results were not as disparate as we'd expect. Scenarios involving sprites and domain sharding we'd probably expect to fall somewhere in the middle. Thanks for your comments.
