Courses Plus Student 3,905 PointsTile Background
I was wondering. Is repeating a textured png for the background of a site make it any easier on the bandwidth/loading speed than if I were to (For some odd reason) tile it manually?

Also, repeating the background in CSS will fill the entire background no matter what the browser view or screen size are. If you tried to do it manually, you wouldn't be able to handle all of these sizes. Not easily, anyway.

Courses Plus Student 3,905 PointsI think I wasn't clear enough. I was asking if tiling the image with CSS is as resource heavy as just having the same amount of copies of that image?
