US Broadband Jumps to 42.85% - US Ranks 11th - CSS: Group Common Styles into Shared Classes

Optimization Week Issue #10, Jan. 22, 2004

In this issue the U.S. broadband penetration rate has doubled over the past month and we offer another CSS optimization tip. In December 2003 broadband penetration for Internet-connected U.S. homes jumped to 42.85%. In this week's Speed Tweak we show how using additional classes that share common styles can actually shrink your style sheets.

If you've got an idea for a speed review or tip we want to hear from you. If you've found a site that you find particularly fast or slow let us know about it and it might appear in a future issue.
