Combining lots of more complex svg icons

I am working on a project where user will be able to pick and chose icons that he will see on his page (hopefully such abstract explanation helps to somewhat understand the situation). I have like 30+ somewhat complex svg icons in project folder.

Is it a good idea to combine them?

There is no general answer to this. If the icons are so complex that the svgs are larger files, it's probably better to have them as individual files. Especially since they don't need to get loaded at once, if I understand you right.

The faster your site loads, the higher the chances are that the users will stay. Amazon increases it's sales for a product by 1% for each 100ms a page loads faster ;)
