An overabundance of small pictures

To download a file, the browser spends time on service operations. It is constant and does not depend on the speed of the Internet connection. That is, it may take 1 millisecond to download a file, and up to 100 for service operations.

To speed up the site, programmers group many small icons into one large file. This is called sprite layout.

It is better to transfer some SVG images to a CSS file. For example, it is more reasonable to place the site logo from the header in a CSS file. This way you will reduce the number of requests and reduce the total size of the transmitted data due to better compression. So if the CSS file weighs 100KB in compressed form, and the logo in SVG is 20KB, then when combined, their size will be less than 120KB. This is due to the features of GZip compression algorithms.
