With the new CSS3, now the tools that were used for designing like, gradients, round corners, shadow and transparency, will all be done by the browser you use. On contrary, the older versions used huge files to maintain and load a website, which made the loading time very slow. With new CSS3 a few number of files will be used for website loading purpose, hence the site will load quickly. Moreover, the more a website loads quickly, the more positive effect on visibility.
