Lars Jansen(@oldstackjournal):Your 404 log is full of /favicon.ico because of a decision made in 1999. Internet Explorer 5 looked for that file in the site root. No <link> tag required. 27 years later, browsers still try it if you haven't declared an icon. A bit of 1999 hanging around in server logs😆
