Should You Use Multiple Chevron SVG Images or Rotate a Single SVG Icon with CSS?

Adding a single chevron icon to the assets and rotating the others using CSS is a more efficient approach. This method optimizes performance by reducing the number of assets the browser needs to load. By using just one chevron icon and rotating it with CSS, the browser can cache the image, eliminating the need to load multiple versions.

This reduces HTTP requests, which improves load times and decreases the overall size of assets on the page. Additionally, it simplifies code maintenance—if we ever need to update the chevron icon, we only need to update one file instead of four.
