Full versus relative URLs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here's a question related to my last post. When specifying a link in a
HTML file (like to the css or an image file), there are two ways of
doing it. One is to simply include the relative path to the file
(relative to the doc root), like:

/graphics/my_portrait.gif

Or you can include the full URL, like:

http://example.com/graphics/my_portrait.gif

My casual observation seems to indicate that the former will load faster
than the latter. But has anyone done any benchmarking on it?
