The original Space Jam (1996) site does this for navigation (and it still works fine): https://www.spacejam.com/1996/cmp/jamcentral/jamcentralframe...

I just checked, and no it doesn't. The icons in the navigation are separate .gif files.

edit to add: And this makes a large part of the load time (when not cached). Other than that, the largest part is the SSL handshake and the fact that the server seems to be a bit slow (WRT the fact that it serves static content; 200ms for dynamic stuff would be okay).

Still a lot faster than most of todays websites.

In fairness I would be completely not surprised to find out it's on the same hardware as the day it launched, and probably hosts a pile of other static sites besides.
