Best way in minimizing size of vector svg file

I have a 1 megabyte vector svg file that I created with Adobe Illustrator. Any tips on how I can reduce the file size?

I tried running it through Contenta Converter, but it converted it from a vector to a raster image. Unfortunately I can't use a compressed svg file either.

Here is the file if it helps anyone: http://d.pr/Qh6T

Thanks in advance.

Your image seems to consist of a repeated pattern, however, in the source code each instance of the pattern is written out in full. That's what's making it large.

Since versions CS2 and newer have excellent SVG support, the most likely reason it's being written this way is because you're using copy and paste rather than Illustrator's patterns. This tutorial is a good explanation on how to do this.
