Removes editor metadata, comments, and redundant attributes
Preserve viewBox and accessibility attributes
Integrate into build process for automatic optimization

Check

Check if SVG files are optimized by removing unnecessary metadata and formatting.

Fix

Optimize SVG files using SVGO or similar tools to reduce file size.

Explain

Explain how SVG optimization can reduce file sizes by 50-80% without quality loss.
