Why Use Data URIs for SVGs?
- Fewer HTTP Requests: Embed SVGs directly in CSS without separate file requests
- Better Caching: SVGs cached with your stylesheet
- Smaller File Sizes: URL encoding is more efficient than Base64 for SVGs
- Inline Convenience: No need to manage separate SVG files
URL Encoding vs Base64
For SVG files, URL encoding is typically more efficient than Base64. Base64 adds ~33% overhead, while URL encoding only escapes special characters. Use Base64 only if you need broader compatibility.
Optimization Tips
- Remove unnecessary whitespace and comments
- Use short attribute names where possible
- Remove default values and redundant declarations
- Consider using viewBox instead of fixed width/height
