I have a SVG that I want to use as the background for a website, I made it so that the SVG itself repeats and fills up the screen. I also rotated the pattern -25 degrees in order to achieve the effect that I wanted. I took the whole SVG, encoded it using an online URL-encoder and made it the background-image of an element.
Problem:
The pattern looks great on Firefox, but on Safari, the SVG pattern looks blurry/pixelated on both macOS and iOS.

I tried different methods to achieve the same effect but each method brought up its own complexities.
One of these workarounds involved using a png version of the SVG for the background but I could not achieve a true tiling effect since I wanted the whole pattern to be rotated by about 25 degrees.
I tried finding a solution for this for 2 days straight but I came up empty handed with still no solution.
I'm not particularly clear on the ins and outs of rendering svg in html. I have loaded an svg file via svg-inline-loader, and the data appears to be present, but nothing is rendering. I imagine I'm missing something rather basic here, but I can't see what, and I haven't been able to find any resources on what may cause this.
