Sure, text can be compressed, but that ain't the whole picture. All the HTTP compression in the world isn’t going to squish a GIF or JPEG down any significant amount.

Why aren't you using HTTP compression then? This problem was solved in the 90s. Sorry. You actually think this is a problem? Why aren’t you using HTTP compression then?

It seems these days that markup optimization is often an afterthought. It always striked me a bit odd that people could push out these bloated websites totally ignoring tableless design, CSS Control adapters, output caching etc. I think it's a bit risky considering the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the web. I mean a website could be attracting 500 visitors one week, and then 500,000 the week after (ok this doesn't happen all the time but it does happen). So I am not sure how a owner would feel if he/she is all of a sudden paying for excess bandwidth. I came across an interesting a couple of years ago that looked at Microsoft's website and really puts things into perspective regarding excess bandwidth consumption etc. http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/throwing_tables/ Interesting point Jeff.

Not only that but do we really need to always use dynamic controls to render static content? For instance when ASP.NET churns out our in to tags. What's the point if it's static? Don't get me started on the over use of tables! I couldn’t agree more! Not only that but do we really need to always use dynamic controls to render static content?
