One more benefit from using the <IMG> tag is related to SEO - i.e. you can provide additional information about the image in the ALT attribute of the image tag, while there's no way to provide such information when specifying the image through CSS and in that case only the image file name may be indexed by search engines. The ALT attribute definitely gives the <IMG> tag SEO advantage over the CSS approach. That's why according to me it is better to specify the images you want to rank well in the image search results (e.g. Google Image Search) using the <IMG> tag.

IMG首先加载，因为src是在html文件本身，而在背景图片的情况下，源是在样式表中提到的，所以图片在样式表加载后加载，延迟了网页的加载。

还有一个原因!如果你有一个响应式的设计，并且想通过媒体查询来划分低分辨率、中分辨率和高分辨率图像的使用，那么你也应该使用背景。

我想再补充两个论点:

An img tag is good if you need to resize the image. E.g. if the original image is 100px by 100 px, and you want it to be 80px by 80px, you can set the CSS width and height of the img tag. I don't know of any good way to do this using background-image. EDIT: This can now also be done with a background-image, using the background-size CSS3 attribute. Using background-image is good when you need to dynamically switch between sprites. E.g. if you have a button image, and you want a separate image displayed when the cursor is hovering over the element, you can use a background image containing both the normal and hover sprites, and dynamically change the background-position.

图像的大小呢?如果我使用img标记，浏览器将缩放图像。如果我使用css背景，浏览器只是从较大的图像中切割一块。

还要注意，大多数搜索引擎蜘蛛不会索引CSS背景图像，因此背景图像将被忽略，你将无法从搜索引擎获得任何流量(简而言之，没有SEO好处)。

其中，所有用标签定义的图像都被索引(除非手动排除)，并且如果它们的标题/alt属性和文件名经过适当优化(w.r.t一些关键字)，就可以从搜索引擎带来流量。
