Question for a smart IT dude

[azoomee]

I have a webpage that uses 4 different "icons" -- each one is about 5k. The icons are used multiple times each on the same page.

I'm trying to determine page download times / bandwidth .... So (assuming rest of page = 0k) would the bandwidth for a page with 5 copies of each icon = 4 icons x 5k size x 5 copies = 100k. OR would it equal 4 icons x 5k size = 20k

Basically, when a browser accesses the page, will it download each icon once, or multiple times?

The latter. 20 K.

That is one of the neatest pages I've seen on the web! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Even a slightly dumb IT guy should have known that.

Browser cache, temporary internet director, DoH!
