  I have made a website.

  where there are more than 200 icons using CSS/3.
  Is this useful ??

  I guess CSS/3 icons makes your site light and reduce http requests.

  I love CSS-only experiments like that. I’ve heard pros and cons for CSS-only icons. Typically, the argument for using them is that it’s lighter/faster (as you mentioned) and the argument against is that you shouldn’t use CSS-only techniques that may not work in some browsers if it’s for elements that are critical to the layout or function of a site.

  I think that site looks pretty cool. I like how they’ve listed out browser compatibility for each icon. Thanks for sharing this!
