This is a screenshot of the Net tab in FireBug in FireFox 3.6. It displays a sequence of downloads for a page on this web site.
- The first request downloads the HTML file.
- The second and third requests receive minified CSS files linked in the head of the HTML file.
- The fourth request downloads minified JavaScript file linked in the head.
- Afterward, multiple images are downloaded. First, images referenced by the HTML document (e.g. the logo) and then images referenced by CSS files. Those images are not sprited (room for improvement).
- Towards the end, Google Analytics files are received and JavaScript code executed.
- The last two images are downloaded by JavaScript.
