Hugo Go SVG CLI

Hicons

Hugo SVG Icons Support

Hicons is designed to bridge the gap between heavy icon libraries and Hugo’s performance-first philosophy. By scanning your codebase, it ensures only the SVGs you actually use are included in your build, keeping your DOM clean and your Lighthouse scores high.

Why Hicons?

Many Hugo sites either copy-paste SVGs manually (tedious) or use a giant partial with hundreds of hidden SVGs (slow). Hicons automates the process by maintaining a single icons.html partial that updates in real-time as you code.
