XF 2.1 favicon.ico

[JoyFreak]

Any reason why my favicon.ico does not display on Chrome?

Try to use an other type or use PNG.

The weird thing is, it works if I rename it "favicon1.ico".. anything works other than exact "favicon.ico".

See my editing above.

That didn't work. Welcome to look again!

What didn't work? When you use PNG or changing type="image/x-icon"?

Changing. It's changed. You can view source html if you want to see that it is changed and not working still.

It works fine.

Here's the page as chrome sees it:

Here's all the images being loaded:

It's call #37, your favicon is indeed being loaded on Chrome. Perhaps a ctrl/F5 hard refresh and you'll see it?

If you ever truly want to know what's going on with your site, use webpagetest and eschew all the other junk.

The hard refresh did the job, many thanks!

Now, click on the grades you see at the top of this page, the ones showing F... And the site will tell you why it's a failing grade.

WebPageTest is a project by Google's tech guru Patrick Meenan, it's a big volunteer botnet where only REAL browsers with REAL connections are used, to test your site. Many locations around the world selectable, many operating systems and browsers to choose from.

Study it, learn it, know it. There's a message board there too where you can ask specific questions and get answers about your site's performance.

It's the only performance measuring tool to use. Ever.

By the way your first byte time is a big fail, because you're using Cloudflare. Big article by Patrick about this, on the site. CF screws with FBT. There's NO good reason to use CF that I've ever seen, and I was one of the early beta testers of it.

If I might borrow from a friend , there's this as well:

When it's free, you are the product. And in this case, so are your visitors. Cloudflare doesn't give free SSL, CDN, and DNS out of the goodness of their heart.

Be aware that despite their claims of privacy, their founder was all too willing to sell data from ProjectHoneyPot, the service which he started prior Cloudflare. I don't know for a fact, but I'd venture to say they are selling blocking and traffic pattern information there as well. After all, it's a giant honeypot.

From their terms:
"Cloudflare may aggregate data we acquire about our Customers and their End Users, including the Log "Data described above. " and "Non-personally identifiable, aggregated data may be shared with third parties." - This means they won't share identifying info. There is nothing in their terms which prevents them from sharing your traffic sources, bounce rates, time spent on site, number of visitors, what pages visitors view, etc.

Also, they have a 5 year agree with Asian registry APNIC to share DNS query information.

Basically, they are certainly able to sell information about your business or hobby web site. They aren't end user spyware, but essentially they are server spyware in my opinion.

I have avoided and will continue to avoid the Cloudflare bandwagon.

I'll take a look, thanks.
