ImageBundleHelper adds view helper image_bundle. A helper which bundles individual local images into a single CSS sprite thereby reducing the number of HTTP requests needed to render the page.

Yahoo’s Exceptional Performance team (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/) found that the number of HTTP requests has the biggest impact on page rendering speed. You can inspect your site’s performance with the excellent Firefox add-on YSlow (http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/).

Usage

Use ImageBundle to automatically replace individual local images into CSS sprites.
