@ayo If you're talking about the flag icons and similar stuff, those should _not_ be SVG files. SVG should be reserved for very basic UI-related iconography, like reply/repost or previous/next page symbols. Flags are too complex for SVG. You could use a PNG or JPEG sprite for them, if you're that worried about performance, but most browsers would make a single request for each flag and cache the rest, anyway. That sounds like a case for server cache headers to me, not a frontend issue.

Also, if the flags represent languages, plain text abbreviations would probably be better suited for the purpose. Platforms are a different beast, of course.

All that said, the way it is now, the page loads very quickly in the two browsers I've tried, so I'm not sure optimising it would be worth it, but, of course, you know your website better than me.
