我更喜欢在开发过程中使用多个CSS文件。这样管理和调试就容易得多。但是，我建议你在部署时使用像YUI Compressor这样的CSS缩小工具，它可以将你的CSS文件合并成一个整体文件。

你可以只使用一个css文件来提高性能，然后像这样注释掉部分:

/******** Header ************/
//some css here

/******* End Header *********/


/******** Footer ************/
//some css here

/******* End Footer *********/

etc

以下是最好的方法:

创建一个包含所有共享代码的通用CSS文件 将所有特定页面的CSS代码插入到同一页面中，在标签上或对每个页面使用属性style=""

通过这种方式，您只有一个包含所有共享代码的CSS和一个HTML页面。 顺便说一下(我知道这不是正确的主题)，你也可以在base64编码你的图像(但你也可以用你的js和CSS文件)。通过这种方式，您可以将更多的HTTP请求减少到1。

I've created a systematic approach to CSS development. This way I can utilize a standard that never changes. First I started with the 960 grid system. Then I created single lines of css for basic layouts, margins, padding, fonts and sizes. I then string them together as needed. This allows me to keep a consistent layout across all of my projects and utilize the same css files over and over. Because they are not specific. Here's an example: ----div class="c12 bg0 m10 p5 white fl"/div--- This means that the container is 12 columns across, utilizes bg0 has margins of 10px padding of 5 the text is white and it floats left. I could easily change this by removing or adding a new - What I call a "light" style- Instead of creating a single class with all these attributes; I simply combine the single styles as I code the page. This allows me to create any combination of styles and does not limit my creativity or cause me to create a massive number of styles that are similar. Your style sheets become a lot more manageable, minimized and allow you to re-use it over and over. This method I have found to be fantastic for rapid design. I also no longer design first in PSD but in the browser which also saves time. In addition because I have also created a naming system for my backgrounds and page design attributes I simply change out my image file when creating a new project.(bg0 = body background according to my naming system) That means that if I previously had a white background with one project simply changing it to black simply means that on the next project bg0 will be a black background or another image..... I have not found anything wrong with this method yet and it seems to work very well.

整体样式表确实提供了很多好处(在其他答案中有描述)，但是根据样式表文档的总体大小，您在IE中可能会遇到问题。IE对从单个文件中读取的选择器数量有限制。限制为4096个选择器。如果你是单片样式表，你会想要拆分它。这种限制只会在IE中暴露出来。

这适用于所有版本的IE。

存在一个临界点，在这个临界点上使用多个css文件是有益的。

一个拥有100万以上页面的网站，平均用户可能只看到其中的5个，可能有一个巨大的样式表，所以试图通过大量的初始下载来节省每次页面加载的单个额外请求的开销是虚假的经济。

把这个论点延伸到极致——这就像是建议整个网络应该维护一个大的样式表。显然是荒谬的。

每个网站的临界点都不一样，所以没有硬性规定。这将取决于每个页面的唯一css数量、页面数量以及普通用户在使用网站时可能经常遇到的页面数量。
