By using CSS I am able to decorate the anchor tag! Before CSS buttons on websites were text in images between the anchor tags.

THIS WAS BAD. Loading images takes a significant amount of time, much more than the average visitor was willing to spend watching the page load. CSS is a way of decorating text based on selectors and classes which describe the style needed.

Thanks to CSS you don't have to compromise looks for speed. Take a look at some more examples of how CSS can decorate links to appear as buttons.

Don't Have the Time to learn CSS?

Obviously, you cannot buy all of your readers Alienware super computers so to decrease page load time you must focus on your websites' internals.
