Here are some things that you can do to make sure you’re delivering better SVGs for the web. 1. Enable Gzip on your SVGs (if it’s not already enabled) SVGs are text-based, and thus gzip really well. When an SVG is gzipped, it is referred to as an “SVGZ” image and uses the corresponding .svgz filename extension. As a matter of fact, Appendix G of the SVG specification — that contains a list of features in SVG that promote small file sizes — contains a list of example compression rates resulting from gzipping a bunch of SVGs.

This is especially handy when creating shapes by hand in the browser, or making edits to an existing graphic. There are a number of stroke related attributes within SVG that allow us to control the details of our strokes, just as we do in vector graphic software. Hopefully this quick post will serve as a general guide to getting started with these attributes and contribute to understanding their capabilities and potential. This can especially be handy when you start animating them, for example.
