Load Time Tip :  Replace GIFs With Colored Table Cells

Colorful images add visual interest to Web pages, but they also increase download time. With careful use of colored table cells though, you can often keep the color while decreasing page load time. Images take time to download, but browsers can render color immediately. Use colored table cells to replace large blocks of color on your page. Click here to see more.
