What it costs you

Inline SVG is part of the HTML, so it is downloaded again with every page and no cache helps. The browser also has to read it before the rest of the page.

What to do

Move large drawings to .svg files and load them with <img> or as a CSS background, so the browser caches them. Keep small icons inline.

What it checks

Large or repeated inline graphics
