I'm thinking of converting some of my large PNG images to SVG to reduce loading time. Is there a difference between using an SVG as an img source and pasting the SVG source directly into the code?

ImageOptim

For local compression on your machine before delivering static images, and you're on a Mac, use ImageOptim (free) to compress images before you ship them Use JPEGmini for JPG images (paid, but they offer standalone apps for Windows/Mac for a one-time cost; and a remote compression service with APIs to pass images to + store, distributed via CDN).

Cloudinary For Video

If you need to store and compress images on demand for an app that handles images being uploaded in a growing repository, services like Cloudinary offer storage and optimization, and can serve images in any format you need. I encourage researching alternatives if their pricing model doesn't work for you. Their free tier is pretty generous if you're doing a small/personal project.
