Organizing your styles across multiple style sheets can really help you manage the numerous styles for your sites. However, don’t split up your CSS for any given page into a very large number of style sheets. If you load more than say, five style sheets per page, even if they are not very big in kilobytes individually, you may start to see a slower page load performance. Often, more time is required to send the request and establish the connection for each fi e transfer than the time spent actually moving the data itself from server to browser. If you think this is happening, baseline the download speed with the multiple style sheets using Firebug (a debugging add-on for your Firefox browser—search www.getfirefox.com > Add-ons). Then copy all the styles into one style sheet, link your page to only that one style sheet, and measure again. If you see a noticeable difference, then you might want to start consolidating your styles into fewer style sheets.
