title: HTML 4.0 problems with hosting images on other domain
body: <p>There is a company I'm working with that says we are slowing down their web hosting software by hosting images on a separate domain.</p>
  
  <p>I've told them what we are doing should only speed them up because there will be less file requests to their server.</p>
  
  <p>They replied by saying that because they use HTML 4.0, their server is having to make image requests on the server side before they send content to the user.</p>
  
  <p>This makes no sense to me and am trying to disprove this claim.
  Am I wrong and just crazy?
  I've been looking for articles on this for hours and have had no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Proof that their statement is false would be greatly appreciated, and an article on this topic would be even more helpful.</p>
