Problem

public/logo.svg is 348KB. A logo SVG should typically be 1-10KB. This suggests the SVG contains embedded raster images, unnecessary metadata, or was exported with redundant data.

At 348KB, this file is loaded on every page load (it appears in the header, footer, and favicon link). This is a significant performance penalty for first paint.

Fix

Open the SVG and check for embedded base64 images or unnecessary metadata
Run through SVGO or a similar optimizer
If it contains embedded raster data, export a proper vector-only version
Target: <10KB for the final SVG

Also create a proper favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon.png separately.
