It's only faster on the first load. On all subsequent loads its slower and consumes more bandwidth. I find this irresponsible.

- mook 6y agoThat surely depends on context; for a lot of pages I'll never make a second load at all.

That's assuming the cache doesn't expire, or it's not an incognito session, or you're not loading it from a CDN where it won't get cached anyway. 2. If you do find this irresponsible, then by all means create a small SVG file with the 5 icons in it and allow that to be cached, or even 5 small individual SVG files if it comes to that.
