About Image Base64 Encoding
Converting images to Base64 data URLs allows them to be embedded directly in HTML or CSS without requiring separate HTTP requests. This can improve page load performance for small images like icons and logos by reducing the number of network requests. However, Base64 encoding increases data size by about 33%, so it is not recommended for large images. The typical use case is for small images under a few kilobytes.
