Comment (by iCaleb):

 Looked into this a bit, and seems the SVG defs are always loaded, not only
 when a social menu is being used. This is because the svg icons are used
 for more than just social, a couple of examples are the search widget
 submit button and the left/right archive page arrows.

 Reading up on `<defs>` a bit, this might not really be an issue.

 > Objects created inside a <defs> element are not rendered immediately;
 instead, think of them as templates or macros created for future use.
