cSprites - Speed Up Page Load Time with Dynamic Image Sprites WordPress Plugin
Automatically compress your images into a big sprite, decreasing web page load time. SEO features automatically generate rich ALT and TITLE tags.
The idea of combining images into a larger one and displaying this using CSS tricks has been around for awhile.
There are a couple big benefits to doing this: First it reduces the number of HTTP requests that the browser has to make, by combining say 5 images into 1 big image, the number of image requests has been reduced by 4. This can increase the effeciency of page loading and you can see gains in the speed at which your page is loaded.
cSprites will enable you to compress all of the images in your content into one big image, called a sprite and display this in parts. Thus the user will only have to make 1 request rather than many for all your content images.
cSprites now has some nice SEO behavior, you can let it automatically generate ALT and TITLE tags based on things like Post title, categories, image name, etc.
