Why Use a GIF Spritesheet with CSS?

Using a spritesheet with CSS animations is a powerful technique for optimizing web performance. Instead of loading multiple individual GIF frames, the browser loads a single image file. CSS then controls which part of the spritesheet is visible at any given time, creating the illusion of animation. This reduces HTTP requests and can lead to faster page load times.

Tips for Using GIF Spritesheets

• Spritesheets are most effective for GIFs with a moderate number of frames. Very long or high-resolution GIFs might result in very large spritesheet files.
• Ensure the dimensions and positioning in your CSS match the layout of the generated spritesheet precisely.
• Consider using tools to further optimize the spritesheet image file size.
