How do SVG and PNG formats affect website performance?
- SVG files are generally smaller in file size compared to PNG files of the same visual quality. This makes SVG icons better for website performance, as they load faster and reduce bandwidth usage.
- However, older browsers may not support SVG, so using PNGs can be a better choice if you need to support a wide range of browser versions on your website.
Also keep in mind that having too many SVG icons on your page can slow down rendering, so it's best to use them judiciously.
