Dear inkthemes team, I am using www.gtmetrix.com to assess my website load speed during site development and want to optimise it for fastest load speed possible. My current load speed is c. 3.5seconds with 65 database requests. GTmetrix is indicating that I should improve the following and I was wondering f you have any guidance on how I go about them: 1. Combine images using css sprites: GTmetrix tells me that the following images served from oconnorcarpentry.org should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites. How do I do this? http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-...l-media-widget/images/default/32/facebook.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/plugins/social-media-widget/images/default/32/twitter.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/commabox-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/facebookicon-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/footerbg-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/footerheadsep-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/footersep-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/fsearchbtn.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/linkdinicon-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/pinteresticon-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/searchbg-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/titlesep-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/topinfobarbg-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/toptip-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/color/images/twittericon-brown.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/arrow-next.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/arrow-prev.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/button-tip.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/close-icon.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/dashline.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/inactivelink.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/menu-sep.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/mobile-icon.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/slider-sepnew.png http://www.oconnorcarpentry.org/wp-content/themes/infowaytheme/images/topsroll-icon.png Best regards, Pat
