The advantages of an external stylesheet are: Reduced
bandwidth.For a certain period of time browsers typically only request one copy of
your external CSS stylesheet, then caches that copy and won’t
request your server for another copy.By refreshing the page, the cache can be over written.
Try refreshing the external stylesheet if this doesn’t work.
The bandwidth of the HTML code can reduced using external CSS stylesheets so that html code to be a clearer and contain less redundant style
information. To send the file out to the browser, it is required to have a smaller file size and the less bandwidth. For example, if
wanted all <td> tags of your web site to be vertically aligned
in the center, instead of using <td align=center> for every
single <td> tag in your html document, simply define the
vertical alignment in the external stylesheet and in your html
document, all you will need to use is <td> and all <td> will be
vertically aligned.
Easier to maintainYou only
need to define it once in external stylesheet,instead of defining a
style for a particular element over and over again. By changing one file, the .css file, external
stylesheets also enable altering the whole look of a web site.
