    I have some heavy images on my website which obviously increases the loading time. Now I want to decrease the loading time. So I have decided that I will break the images into parts as it is helping to decrease the size of the image.


    (one image = 14 kb,
    two images = 7kb + 5 kb = 12 kb)

    Should I do it?
    Now there are two http request for two images but it saves 2 kb, will it perform better?

    Thanks
