Why would Google choose to deliver this image as a PNG file, which is actually X45 bigger than the promised size and wastes 97% of the bandwidth involved in delivering the logo?īy the way, the old logo converted from SVG to a 544 pixels wide PNG weighing 22.2KB, which is just X1.7 bigger than the new logo.
I’m using Google’s Chrome web browser which supports the SVG format. This image file weighs 13.3K, which is much larger than the promised 305 bytes logo… We went to Google’s most visited web page,, as seen in the screenshot below.Īpparently Google is displaying the logo on their homepage as a PNG file of 544×184 (272×92 with double pixel density ratio). Wasting 97% of file sizeĮven if the file size reduction is ‘just’ X8, this is still very impressive.
