For anyone looking to optimize performance in a scenario where static HTML is being used, I recommend checking out this helpful question. When working with individual HTML files for each page, you may face the challenge of image loading. Each page will either load the image independently or refer to a CSS file that contains the image through the background-image
property, resulting in repeated image loads per HTML page.
In terms of performance impact, there doesn't seem to be a significant difference. While using background-image
in a single CSS file and including it on every page can help reduce code repetition, it's essential to consider various factors before deciding between <image />
and background-image
. These considerations are well explained in the linked question above.
