Yes it is! Actually I stumbled these days on a video where one of the guys talked about a quite interesting technique, that all the site was sent in one response from the server. But how is it possible? Actually everything is collected on the server side, i.e. with PHP which groups everything within a string. Obviously the images are base64ed. Than everything is send to the client with appropriate delimiters and mime types, and the client separates the string and build ups the page.

Problems

Of course there are some problems. First of all, as you may guess, MSIE doesn’t support base64. Another bad thing is that this isn’t cacheable.

One Good Use

There is however a good place to use this technique. In mobile versions. There is no much need of caches and most of all MSIE is not there!
