Main Icons
Main Icons are scalable social media icons that are the smallest possible file size and loading speed.
Why use Main Icons on your website?
Social media icons are one of those resources that almost every website needs, but these are often very inefficient because they are usually company logos and 1:1 scalable vectors of the full social media platforms. This means that these icons are usually much larger than they need to be, especially since they are almost never rendered at any much more than 48 pixel resolutions.
Main Icons aims to take the over-engineered approach to solve the problem of website social images and glyphs; Minimum viable product (MVP) icon sizes to ensure are ‘just’ scalable enough to look great up to common web usages and social media icons demands. These icons are not the company logos or usable for anything outside of being the icons on the footer or headers of your business, website or blog. What you lose in large resolutions and icon scalability, you gain in tiny file sizes; with an average size of just 0.6kb (600 bytes) this means you can have ten social media icons and it will still compress into less than 1 gzipped network packet. If you are looking for the smallest possible scaler vector graphics (SVG) social media and website icons, Main Icons has the repository and CDN hosted solution for you.
Main icons pair perfectly with Main HTML templates and Main JS websites for unrivaled efficiency and performance.
