Does anyone know what does this mean ? what ? how? and why they serve image like that ?
data:image/png;base64 tells the browser that the data is inline, is a png image and is in this case base64 encoded. The encoding is needed because png images can contain bytes that are invalid inside a HTML document (or within the HTTP protocol even).
Base64 encoding is a way to encode binary data in ASCII text. It's primarily used to store or transfer images, audio files, and other media online. It is also often used when there are limitations on the characters that can be used in a filename for various reasons.
The issues are actually not only limited to performance. By using Base64 encoded images on your website, you might also be hurting both your SEO and user experience as well. The reason for this is that sharing Base64 images is much harder due to the fact that they are not actually accessible via a public URL.
It is impossible to clearly distinguish text string and Base64 image encoding string. The only way - check if your string is valid Base 64 encoding string. If it is - probably it is an image. If not - you can be sure it is a text.
It's an inlined image (png), encoded in base64. It can make a page faster: the browser doesn't have to query the server for the image data separately, saving a round trip.
(It can also make it slower if abused: these resources are not cached, so the bytes are included in each page load.)
That data:image/png;base64
URL is cool, I’ve never run into it before. The long string of characters is the base64 encoding of the actual image, i.e. no image call to the server. See RFC 2397 for details.
Side note: I have had trouble getting larger base64 images to render on IE8. I believe IE8 has a 32K limit that can be problematic for larger files. See this other StackOverflow thread for details.
