Why use SVG in CSS background-image?

Inline SVG in CSS brings many benefits to web performance. Reduce HTTP requests: Instead of the browser having to request a separate SVG file, SVG is embedded directly in the CSS. With many small icons, this significantly reduces the number of requests. Effective caching: CSS files are cached, accompanying SVGs are also cached. No need to manage many files. No FOUC: SVG loads with CSS, no flash of unstyled content. Critical CSS: Can inline CSS with SVG into HTML for above-the-fold content. When to use: Small icons, decorative elements, background patterns. When not to use: Large SVG (> 5KB), SVG needs to be animated with JS, SVG needs to be accessible (needs to be inline in HTML with title/desc).
