Too many code for a fresh start website?

Hi.
I’ve just set up a new fresh website with a child theme based on Kadence.
The website has no content so far. Only a completely blank home page and a logo in the header.

But I’ve checked the code generated and i’m already seeing 8 elements with the tag
<svg><defs><filter>…</svg>, all of them containing filters with hidden visibility and positioned out of the screen.
Honestly don’t know what’s their purpose and why there are so many of them.
Is it really necessary? I’m quite new in the job but seems like a lot of ‘i don’t know what’s it for’ code for a blank website.

Also there’s a huge number of ‘Kadence Base CSS’ styles showing up in the header. Looking at what they’re styling I understand they’re needed for setting up the basics of the theme layout but, is it really necessary they show up in the header? Why are them not linked like other stylesheets? I confess I really have a thing about styles in the header.

Anyway I have to say you’re doing a great job with the theme.

Thanks alot.

Albert
