SVG on the web is too slow: from content complexity to loading method
First determine whether the network is slow in downloading, parsing or drawing. A large number of paths, filters, or bitmap embeddings can slow down a page; flat graphics work well with SVG, and large photographic images don't have to be forced to be traced in vector format.
Determine the problem and applicable conditions first
File compression can reduce transfer size, but does not automatically reduce drawing objects. Inlining too many complex graphics will increase the size of the HTML; independent images are easier to cache, but require an appropriate loading strategy. Should be measured on real pages and devices.
Process and check in order
- Compare SVG file size, path complexity, and actual display area.
- Remove metadata and graphics that are confirmed to be useless, and retain before-and-after comparisons.
- Verify the loading of first-screen and non-first-screen resources respectively, and check whether there is any visual degradation.
Check the finished result
Do not remove accessible descriptions or change ID references for the sake of size. After optimization, check on different backgrounds and sizes. If heavy node simplification is required, you should use appropriate tools and confirm the results instead of just renaming the file.
SVG format basis and reference materials
SVG can contain both vector shapes, images, and text. Therefore, a file name ending in .svg does not alone prove that the original image has been converted to an editable path.W3C SVG 2 Specification: SVG Graphics Objectdescribes these object types.
